The reason Jiraiya was considered above Tsunade is because the Elders didn't think she could be found or convinced. Any of the legendary three was considered to have adequate power but Orochimaru was evil and Tsunade hadn't been seen for years. So of course, Jiraiya who was already in the village was asked.

Beyond that the elders thought that even if Tsunade could be found she couldn't be convinced.

had Jiraiya been hokage, Naruto would not have gotten sage mode and to be honest might never have gotten past part 1. Kakashi would never have been healed. Neither would Sasuke. And if you think a decree from the hokage would have gotten the formerly cynical Tsunade there, then you don't know her character well at all. In fact, Jiraiya was already in the village before Orochimaru's attack, knew the third was looking for him, and made sure the third didn't find out he was in town. So he's partially at fault for the Third's demise had he made his presence clear he may have been able to team up with the third to take Orochimaru down for the count. He is intelligent but he is also brash. What he realized while being beaten to death he could have realized upon reflection and with the body he had konoha could have pieced together more about Pein's abilities had he chosen to escape. And now let's say that he was hokage and Tsunade never returned to the leaf village. What exactly does anyone do about Chou Shinra Tensei because he can't stop it or even protect the citizens from it like Katsuyu did. His toads could be one shotted again. His sage mode form would be defeated as soon as Deva got serious. Also let's fastfoward to the war arc assuming the leaf somehow managed to survive Pein's attack. How would Jiraiya get to the battlefield. Once he's there what could he do about Oonoki and Gaara who were out of steam. And what about when Mei was in need of healing. So it would have been A and Jiraiya vs Madara and if you think the 5 kage were easily dispatched of then you should see how fast the A and Jiraiya combo would have been taken out. And that's still dependent on Jiraiya making it to the battlefield. Furthermore, without Tsunade, Sakura would have been killed by Zetsu and the army still wouldn't know how the enemy infiltrated camps. Futhermore, without Tsunade Sasori would have still been a problem, without Tsunade Kakashi wouldn't be in the war. The past hokages wouldn't be on their way to help, it's only because of she made Sasuke better that the past hokage are brought back. Additionally, without the information about Zetsu the jiinchuuriki and the kage would have fought. Him being hokage would have been bad for the village Tsunade was the better choice here.
So exactly what would Minato, Hiruzen, or the second done in such a situation.Chou Shinra Tensei is a 360 attack.
So let's say Minato puts up a barrier the size of the TBB he managed to teleport before. That still leaves about 90% of the attack unstopped. In which case a lot more people die than in Tsunade's result.
Let's say the Third Hokage was Hokage at this point he and all the villagers die he has nothing in his arsenal to stop that.
The second hokage as well couldn't hope to stop that attack with water wall or with a teleportation jutsu unless he has one that covers all angles.
The first, His wood could be blown away and possibly hurt citizens. And due the scale of his larger attacks fighting in the village would have been to dangerous for the village anyways.
Jiraiya would have been killed right there. Of all the hokages and all kages except maybe, MAYBE the kazekages she has the best answer to that jutsu.
Question, what did Hiruzen or Minato do as the hokage?
As hokage Tsunade tried to kill Orochimaru, and actively searched for him, as hokage Root and Danzo were being watched so that she could do away with them and so they wouldn't cause havoc in Konoha, As hokage she strengthened the bonds among allies and even enemy nations, and she also took on an apprentice while being hokage, and she did the hokages job of caring for the village's finances, as hokage she treated the wounds of shinobi such as Sasuke and Kakashi, and pursued Akatsuki.
Now if we want to talk about bad habits for kids, she drinks but there is nothing wrong with drinking, being in college for 5 minutes would tell you that as a lot of what happens at night in college involves alcohol yet they still end up successful, and Tsunade is successful. Furthermore, Jiraiya was a drunkard as well, and a womanizer. Who wanted Naruto to maintain his sexy jutsu while he taught him.
Actually Minato did not do most of the work, by the time Minato got back to Kurama, Kurama had already been pushed out the city he was there for only the very beginning and the very end of Kurama, the rest was handled by the third and the rest of the village. FYI. Tsunade did most of the work involved in saving the citizens of the village. And what exactly would Naruto have done without the information that was relied to him thanks to Tsunade giving him Katsuyu. He would have died.
Now on to the war arc, if Tsunade had not been trying to convince Ay and the other kage the let Naruto through there would be a lot more problems going on right now. In addition, to her role in the actual battle.
Now, let's further analyze these claims, Hiruzen for his leisure time which Hokages do have and can take any time they please as long as they do get their job done peeped and played with his crystal ball. Tsunade obviously gets her paperwork done as the village is still operating and missions are being handled.
Actually for the comparison to be valid, look at how far Naruto came with Jiraiya's tutelage and nothing more. He learned summoning, rasengan, and got a bit better at the basic, oh and learned how to walk on water. Under Tsunade's tutelage Sakura, became one of the world's best medics, a master of poisons, with insane strength, and she improved Sakura's fighting style this notwithstanding what ever Sakura is about to show and has already attributed to Tsunade.
Also the point at which Jiraiya left Nagato is where his role in training stopped. It was the point in which a fairly simple suiton was in use. Jiraiya's only real claim to being a great teacher is Minato.
There's also a panel when Jiraiya tells Tsunade to go drinking with him, or when Jiraiya wakes up with a hang over and doesn't even pay attention to where Naruto could be. In fact, during the search for Tsunade arc, Tsunade was far more attentive of Naruto than Jiraiya was. Jiraiya is absolutely the bigger evil if we're worried about children.
