Here's my ranking:

1. Gwendolin 

Pros:

Pops lead

Cocktail of Fire pops camos and pops a lot of bloons

Heat it up is an amazing buff: GIves lead popping power and eventually grants +1 layer damage in a good radius

Firestorm is a better storm of arrows

Pops purples at level 16

Cons:

Doesn't pop camo without abilities

2.  Quincy

Pros:

Pops camo at lvl 5

Pops lead (unreliably with explosive shots)

Pops purple

Fares the best against MOABs

Cons:

Unreliably pops lead

Both abilities are mediocre:

Rapid shot lasts for a very short time and is rarely helpful

Storm of Arrows is weak and cannot take out major bloon rush rounds without help (76 being a prime example)

3. Obyn

Pros:

Pops lead

Brambles + WoT pop camo and purple

Magic monkey pierce buff is good

WoT pops lots of bloons

Cons:

Cannot pop purple with main attack

Cannot pop camo with main attack

Brambles are very weak and are rarely useful

Nature totems do almost nothing except take up space where you want to place a tower (and you can't sell them in CHIMPS so you have to wait it out)

Magic monkey buff feels too specialized; if Gwendolin buffs all monkeys then Obyn really should too.

4. Jones

Pros:

Pops lead

Useful in a bomb-centric strategy

Provides support with lvl 3 ability

Cons:

Cannot pop camo

Cannot pop black/zebra/DDT well (less resistant isn't as good as "can pop black")

Bomb tower buff is very specialized - Jones only works with 1 kind of strategy - a bomb strategy - while the others seem to work with almost every other strategy better than Jones can

Level 10 ability is pretty weak and gets only somewhat better at level 20
