Well now that I think about, we don't have a baseline for what nagato does in character other than those scenarios. Kabuto isn't a completely fair reference point because one, edo tensei makes the victims cast attacks against their will so They aren't necessarily the optimal moves they would take, and then two he later completely controlled nagato.

Also, we never got to see how nagato in character uses the full 6 paths of pain, whether they are all in one body or spread throughout out 6. Jiraiya's battle with the full 6 paths were off-panel.

He likes bansho-tenin combos for sure we have seen quite a few of those- bansho into giant blade, bansho into soul-rip/ absoprtion. He seems to prefer to use shinra tensei defensively most of the time. But we don't know what precise choices he would make when he has all 6 in allotment because he has a lot of options.
