Thus, it seems safe to assume that they're all more on the less the same on the power scale.
And though Gandalf perished during the battle with the Balrog - keep in mind that the Balrog was destroyed, too, which suggest some equality in power, too.

I thought Gandalf defeated Durin's Bane but died later due to exhaustion. If that's true, Gandalf technically won because he outlasted the opponent.
