I believe that the current seated kage (Gaara, Naruto, Darui, Kurotsuchi, Chojuro) are the strongest group yet and have surpassed all of their predecessors. Naruto and Gaara are pretty obviously the strongest ever of their respective villages kages. Darui being the sole recipient of the Thirds black lightning and have feats such as being in command of an entire front in the 4th shinobi war, basically single-handedly defeating the gold and silver bros, and being capable of wielding the sages tools, I believe put him in a spotlight however the only issue would be the fact that unlike the previous two kage he lacks lightning armour as far as we know. Chojuro after the timeskip had more than likely surpassed Mei considering his sword prowess had to have improved and he was hailed as a prodigy from the hidden mist village. His only real competition in my opinion would be Yagura seeing that he was a jinchuuriki. Kurotsuchi is probably the hardest to gauge however considering we haven't seen her do much of anything and her most recent predecessors were dust style users.
