Anyways, this is a really tough battle, and I'm not going to go into all the reasons WHY I think Minato would win. But if he could beat Tobi with such ease, I think he could beat pain. Tobi also had the ability to teleport which Nagato does not.
Minato is a superb strategist, has the ability to teleport, and superb sealing techniques. Dealing with the paths will not be a problem for Minato if Naruto could do it with Sage Mode. (I love Naruto, not trying to bag on him, but Minato is stronger than Naruto was at that point.)
