Thing is, Naruto only managed to beat Pein because the Deva Path was on cooldown until there were only 2 paths left. If the Deva Path had been active during that whole fight, naruto would have been taken down like it was nobodies business. Jiraiya also had a FAR more versatile repertoire of techniques than minato does, since minato is mostly a one trick pony. Pein wins with little contest.
