Here is my opinion: Rank1 - Team 2. Mainly because Obito is on it. Obito knows most of Madara’s tricks, and how he is likely to react in certain situations. He did have to pose as him for the better part of 2 decades after all. Preta path will be useful for stopping any large scale fire style or other jutsu. Sasori and Konan will be able to apply near constant pressure with her paper clones/shuriken and mobility and his iron sand/ army of puppets likely somewhat limiting Madara’s movements. Hidan is honestly mostly useless here, but could be good at baiting Madara to attacking him and providing an opening for the others.

Rank 2 - Team 3. While less so than Obito, Itachi has knowledge of Madara and Sharingan techs, and his susanoo with TB is the best chance any team has of sealing an edo Madara. Orochimaru’s vast arsenal of jutsu and crafty nature is likely to surprise Madara at least once and if Orochimaru has Edo Tensei, adds even more to their fighting strength. Zetsu will be good as a distraction, and may be able to very briefly halt Madara’s movements with his spores. Like hidan, the Naraka path will be mostly useless; as far as I know it is unknown whether he can revive individuals other than the 6 paths of pain. but might be a serviceable distraction otherwise.

Rank 3 - Team 1. This team consists of all resilient fighters who are able to spam lots of jutsu and apply lots of pressure to Madara, however, If this is being taken into consideration, this team’s personalities clash the most, and each would likely have their own idea of how to go about doing things at first. If we consider them working with perfect synergy, things improve a lot. Sasuke could likely at least hold off/ clash with Madara’s initial susanoo with his own while Kakuzu drags him out and the others spam their techniques. However, none of them have known sealing capabilities, and would have a hard time inflicting lasting damage once Madara got serious.

Rank 4 - Team 4. This one or team 1 could be switched honestly, as I’m not sure who would do better. This may surprise some, since this team contains Nagato. However, Madara knows all of nagato’s rinnegan techs, so this teams most powerful piece would likely not be able to catch Madara by surprise with any of his techniques, and would Probably only be able to keep Madara at bay for a short time. Like team 1, this team has members who can spam powerful large scale techniques, with their best chance likely being Kisame IMO, since sharkskin allows him to grow stronger the more chakra his opponent has, and his water style is a good match to madara’s signature fire style. The human path and Asura path can throw lots of damage at Madara, but probably would not be able to hit him at all.
