We have already seen how the rinnegan is better than the Byakugan three points of view>one point of view. I think you are thinking about this battle the wrong way, Jiraiya is not fighting one opponent now he is fighting three different ones, and they are summons not clones so they wouldn’t be destroyed by one simple hit.
Try thinking of this battle more like Orochimaru + Nidaime and Shodaime vs Sandaime, rather than the Neji vs Naruto battle.
