After all, Obito managed to subdue no less than 6 biju. He struggled a bit at first with transforming them into their full power state, but adapted and succeeded. These biju showed a power roughly equal to Kurama near-full power. Remember that Nagato was struggling against that.

Secondly, Nagato relied on the use of the Paths. Obito didn't. He had his own Mangekyou to phase through stuff, making techniques like Animal Path (solely used for mobility) and Ashura Path (defence) useless. He could use Human Path, but it's a useless combat path. Preta Path may have been useful, but then again there's the phasing thing which largely made that obsolete. King of Hell is used only to reinvigorate the Paths, which Obito didn't need since they were Edo Tensei.

So what exactly does Obito gain from using the Six Paths? not a whole lot. With his Zetsu army he probably was up-to-date about Nagato v Naruto (both times) and probably figured out that Chibaku Tensei is useless against Naruto/Bee. The push/pull thing is useful, but if binding chakra to your feet is all it takes to deny that power, why use it?

In stead, it seems Obito primarily used the Rinnegan to control the Edo Tensei (even though they weren't his) and the Biju for raw power.
