It's difficult to tell since Nagato's weaknesses were largely nullified by circumstance. He absorbed Bee's chakra and used it to heal himself fully, which also grants him extreme speed (the same way Naruto could outblitz the Raikage simply by using Kurama's chakra).

Obito's use of the Rinnegan was for pretty specific reasons though, mostly to control the Biju. Obito's use of the Rinnegan was superior to Nagato's in some fields (he had better seals, better use of the receivers and greater control over the Biju), but lackluster in others.

Without those Biju, Obito has little use for the Rinnegan. After all, he had days to (at best) weeks to control all that power, while Nagato had a decade or two.

Plus, it's difficult to gauge Nagato's speed post-Hachibi versus Obito's speed.

So i guess i'll default to my standard assertion and say Nagato wins simply due to having more tools available.
