It's really hard to compare one to another. Jinbe is a monster, that's a given, but you can't say "this monster is batter than this monster" because they're always going to have very specific fights.

Luffy gets the captain/crazy DF user.

Zoro gets the swordsman.

Jinbe gets the water/underwater fights.

Sanji gets the kenpo fighter.

Or since both Jinbe and Sanji are hand-to-hand (foot-to-foot) combatants, they can also tag team a monster physical fighter, as they did with Wadatsumi. I doubt that will happen again, but I'm sure that at least Luffy and Zoro will always stick to formula.

Anyway, the point is that they all have a specialty and they stick to it, so to say that one is stronger than another is missing the point of the variety in their crew. To paraphrase Luffy's speech from Arlong Park, each one is useless without the other because they each lack basic skills that the others are masters of.
