Well look at how they dealt with the same opponent.

before the pain invasion, kakashi had the following intel on pain: there are 6 of them total. one can revive the others. they have shared vision.

Then look what happened. Kakashi forgot about the shared vision even though he got the intel on it. He got caught up in the moment, and then his memory needed to be triggered to recall Pa warning him about it.

Then he makes an effective trap for pain for the most part, it would have succeded, except for the fact that he forgot that pain has allies. He forgot that the pains could revive one another, he forgot that this is exactly how jiraiya died. as a result kakashi got himself killed and the battle was lost.

Jiraiya, with the information he had, made a better strategy. he kept track of the 3 opponents he knew of, and exploited their weaknesses effectively and set the appropriate traps so that he could fight one vs one. He got the job done. whereas kakashi failed to use all the information available to him. he shouldn't have been surprised by the ashura path being able to move. for all he knew that path was revived by the other pain.
