In the image above, you can see Samehada healing Kisame from Killer Bee's V2 Lariat, which deals huge damage. Kisame's entire chest cavity was blown out.

To give you an idea of how powerful this attack is, base Bee's lariat overpowered V2 Ay's Lariat:

So Bee's V2 Lariat, which is significantly stronger than his base one, deals incredible damage. With Byakogou, a regeneration jutsu, there is a limit of the number of times a cell can go through mitosis (otherwise known as the Hayflick limit.)

This is the reason why Tsunade transformed into an old lady after using it in the Sannin Showdown; this is the reason why Tsunade transformed into an old lady after using her yin seal to heal the village (through Katsuyu). This is the reason why Tsunade's byakogou ran out towards the end of her battle with Madara. The Byakogou jutsu literally shortens her lifespan, as stated by Shizune. Kisame was never said to have such a limit, and even went on to say "I never tire...and I never fall". Samehada delivered Kisame chakra, which in turn healed his wound.

Had Sakura or Tsunade experienced an injury of that caliber, they would have had to regenerate tons of cells from the huge amount of damage inflicted: billions and billions of cells. If Sakura or Tsunade healed managed to heal from a wound like that, it would have put a tremendous strain on their body, chakra reserves, and shortened their lifespan. Samehada heals him and Kisame simply shrugs off the injury, then immediately afterwards spits out a huge dome of water, proving his chakra reserves were not affected at all.
This isn't the only time Samehada has healed Kisame. Look at how weakened Kisame is right here. Aoba even acknowledges this and says "he seems pretty weakened."

Then Kisame sucks Bee dry of chakra, and the chakra returns to Kisame - making him healthier and stronger.

Tsunade was once in a weakened state, and as a result was in a coma for several weeks, hovering between life and death. Kisame instead gets pumped full of chakra and immediately afterward summons 1,000 sharks, tanks a Hirudora, and uses his brute strength to break out of Yamato's wooden stocks, then spits out a water prison and feeds himself to his sharks.
Anyway, my point here is to prove Kisame's self-healing (with Samehada) is very underlooked and if not superior, at least on par with Byakogou users.
The top self healers in the manga (excluding God tiers) would probably be something like:
-Kabuto
-Hashirama
-Kisame
-Kimimaro
-Sakura
-Tsunade
