Who is more experienced and smarter of the two? Minato. Nagato is smart but he isn't the tactician that minato is, nagato got outsmarted repeatedly by jiraiya and naruto, so minato is fair game. Can nagato's arsenal beat minato? sure. But can nagato beat minato? that's a different question. Nagato doesn't have enough experience fighting someone as fast as minato. On the flip side, minato doesn't have any experience against rinnegan, but the difference is he smart enough to analyze how to counter it in the heat of battle. KCM naruto got caught because he was sneak attacked by the chameleon, but if minato gets caught by that he would be able to teleport out. Minato has more second chances against an opponent like nagato thanks to FTG. Then factor in that there is a noticeable speed and reflex difference between the two.
