Rinnegan is more complicated to get considering u cant just go around mixing bloodlines of hagoromo when u need the actual chakras of each of his sons and how long before even their sons chakras appear again. Don't forget rinnegan also has Limbo, Susanoo, Chibaku tensei meteorites? genjutsu? i recall sasuke blocking goudoudama with skeleton susanoo hand? If you wanted u can also summon gedo mazo? is that enough to combat truth seeking balls? Currently, they're both equally hard to obtain. You need the chakra of both Asura and Indra in order to awaken Rinnegan, which also includes their bloodlines of Senju and Uchiha. For Tenseigan, you need the eyes of a powerful Hyuga and the chakra of an Otsutsuki in order to awaken it. There's only one Otsutsuki left, Toneri, who is on the Moon, and nothing implies that all Hyuga can awaken Tenseigan. As he specifically chose Hanabi's byakugan because it was "very pure" as he stated. Since she is apart of the main family of the main branch, she inherited Hamura's chakra more than the others did just like her sister Hinata, which is probably why he chose her more powerful byakugan. Regardless, both of them are very hard to awaken. Also, a standard Rinnegan doesn't have Limbo, Susanoo, Tengai Shinsei, or Genjutsu. Madara's Limbo was unique to him, and he could use Susanoo because of MS, not Rinnegan, and he could only use Tengai Shinsei (Chibaku Tensei Meteors) with the aid of Susanoo, and only Sasuke with his unique Rinnegan was able to use Genjutsu through it. So the Rinnegan and Tenseigan are equal, they were stated to be equal as well.
