Nagato's Paths have been trashed by Jiraiya and (under circumstance) SM Naruto. On the other hand, Obito's paths went toe-to-toe with two perfect jinchuriki and only then lost due to mechanics (IE, the black rods). if Obito had prepared like Nagato, there is nothing Naruto could've done.

So, in short, Obito's paths are considerably superior.
