I want to give few of my observations, but I'm not going to start listing them in order. So here in no particular order:

Gyomei: The strongest as stated multiple times.

Giyu: Put up a good fight against UP3 with a demon slayer mark although he was outmatched without it. Sparred with Sanemi. Able to keep up with Muzan for a time while injured.

Mitsuri: Fought solo against the strongest form of UP4 with a demon slayer mark, but would have lost if not for Tanjiro killing the main body. Hasn't fared well against Muzan having to be rescued multiple times.

Obanai: Able to keep up with Muzan for some time and even go after his neck which Tanjiro failed to do. Hard to gauge his strength yet. Does he even have a demon slayer mark? We haven't seen one. If he doesn't have one then what we have seen from him is very impressive.

Sanemi: Was able to fight UP1 without a demon slayer mark for a brief time and then even better with a demon mark. Praised by Kokushibo as one of the strongest. Clearly way below Gyomei though.

Kyojuro: Fought solo against UP3 without a demon slayer mark and was able keep up with him for a time. Very impressive.

Tengen: Fought solo against the real UP6 without a demon slayer mark. Had to protect civilians at the start of the fight and got injured because of that.

Muichiro: Soloed UP5 with a demon slayer mark, but strugled a bit before gaining it. Was one-shotted by Kokushibo, who was barely trying at this point, '''while using a mark and his strongest technique. '''A child prodigy, but lacks experience.

Shinobu: Fought solo against UP2 who was toying with her. Main weakness of her is that if the poison does not work she is useless. It is unknown if the poison could have worked against the other upper moons. '''Did not manifest a demon slayer mark. '''Considered very fast. She is an interesting one that could be really strong if only she could behead demons.

NOTE ABOUT NAKIME FIGHT: I find it unlikely any of the pillars could have killed her considering her blood demon art, but neither could she have killed any of the pillars. Yushiro's stealth really was the only way to beat her.
