The paths can basically synergize and do everything Nagato can, except there are 6 bodies, but on the other hand since his chakra isn't divided he has more power. But the 6 bodies together can be useful for misdirection tactics, such as the tactics he used against Jiraiya. Basically I think both variants have their own strengths and weaknesses. As said already, Nagato can't revive himself if he dies. I think the best combo though is Nagato bring his 6 paths to battle. And after the opponent takes them out, most of the time they will be exhasuted. Then the real Nagato comes out and cleans up lol. But if this is a vs battle then we would need to know the mind behind the pains and we would need to set parameters for their knowledge/mastery of rinnegan abilities in combat.
