Ay is not strongest....
Onoki.
Gaara.
Mei.
Ay.
Tsunade.
so are you trying to tell me, that 2nd fastest shinobi is 2nd weakest Kage? :|
If they were pitted against each other, yes.
Tell me how Ay will even touch Mei.
lol, you can't say it by the amount of techniquesman, that's really very hard to judge..

So, according to this information (taken from Narutpedia), Here's what I think:
1> GAARA
2>TSUNADE
3>A
4>OHNOKI
5>MEI TERUMI
If they were pitted against each other, yes.
Tell me how Ay will even touch Mei.
They're all powerful, since each has their own unique abilities, although Mei is definitely the weakest.
If we were to pit them in 1 on 1 fights with each other, it would look something like this:
A > Tsunade
A > Mei
A < Gaara
A < Oonoki
and
Gaara > Mei
Gaara > A
Gaara < oonoki
Gaara < tsunade
then
Mei > Tsunade
Mei < Gaara
Mei < oonoki
and MAYBE Mei > A, but it could go either way.
and I think Oonoki beats all except maybe Gaara, not because I'm a fanboy, but because he has a large moveset, knowing 3 different elements, plus he has kekkei touta. As fast as A can move, Kekkei Touta covers an enormous range, most likely making it impossible for him to doge. Oonoki beats tsunade since she's not THAT fast, and as fast as she can heal, jinton takes you out at an atomic level. Oonoki beats Mei since she really can't do much to hurt him, and again, jinton can beat her. Finally, Oonoki beats Gaara (it's arguable that he doesn't) using pure fore with the jinton, although if Gaara is smart, he COULD hypothetically beat him.
Sorry for text wall.
