I'm gonna go against the stream with this one but Yagura would win, a shinobi who could control a tailed beast is automatically a match for most Kage in my eyes.

Mei is strong offensively (kekkeigenkai and whatnot) and seemingly decent on the defensive, but given Yagura's mirror technique, which can counter a rasengan, her attacks would be repelled, meaning her longrange can be partially neutralized. In close quarters Yagura would own her, his coral palm immobilizing her and making her all the easier to finish off. And it would go even faster when he transformed into Isobu fully. One tailed beast ball and she'd be out.

if Mei had Chojuro she would be stronger in close quarters, but that's practically all I'm afraid.

The problem with this showdown is that we haven't seen enough of several of these characters' abilities to really make a valid verdict.
