I think for the majority of the fights, we don't have enough info to make any sort of determination on. We don't know most of the Zodiacs abilities, and we don't exactly have a good power ranking on most of the Phantom Troupe either. But here's my two cents.

Chrollo vs Ging : Ging - We don't know much about his powers yet, (at lest not from the anime, I haven't read the manga yet) But he seems feared by everyone and I believe is also one of the top 5 Nen users in the world, and I doubt Chrollo is at spot 4 through 2. (I'm assuming Netero was number 1)

Hisoka vs Pariston : Hisoka - If I had to crown a winner, Hisoka seems like the safer bet because his cleverness combined with his Nen applicability is hard to beat. Even though you could argue that Pariston is even more clever, he just doesn't seem like a fighter to me.

Feitan vs Saiyu : Saiyu - The three monkeys ability seems like it would definitely screw with Feitans judgement, whereas it wouldn't do enough damage for Pain Packer to be effective. It's hard to explain, but somehow I think you know what I mean.

Phinks vs Kanzai : Phinks - My only basis for this is that Kanzai was ranked very low on Hisoka's evaluations. And even though Hisoka is pretty creepy, you can't deny that he's a good judge of strength.

Franklin vs Botobai : Botobai - Botobai scored very high on Hisoka's evaluation, and Franklin never struck me as the type who excels in one on one combat. He seems like more of a slaughterhouse kind of guy, someone who just mows down loads of weak people.

Machi vs Cheadle : Machi - Pariston said it himself that Cheadle was not a fighter, and Cheadle didn't object. Whereas Machi is very used to fighting due to... you know... being in the Phantom Troupe...

Bonolenov vs Mizaistom : Mizaistom - Bonolenov's attack in Zazan's palace took far too long to charge ,and Mizaistom could just stop his dance indefinitely by trapping him in Cross Game.

Nobunaga vs Saccho : Nobunaga - We don't know too much about either person, but just as a hunch, Nobunaga's En radius thing that he used on Gon and Killua seems like the perfect technique to use against another swordsman. Because a swordsman need to use close combat, so as soon as Saccho would be in striking range, Nobunaga would cut him down.

Shalnark vs Ginta : Ginta - Honestly, Shalnark didn't seem like too skilled of a Nen user. I mean, he got captured by a basic Chimera Ant. If he didn't have Autopilot he would have been dead there. So my vote goes to Ginta.

Shizuku vs Geru : Geru - Shizuku's abilities seem non-combat oriented as well. She would likely not even be able to use her vacuum to suck out any snake poison, because it would take up too much time.

Kortopi vs Cluck : Cluck - Kortopi is practically useless in a fight, and as you said, Cluck was a sparring partner with Netero, so she earns some bonus points for that.

Kalluto vs Piyon : Piyon - Kalluto's paper movement attack has a fatal flaw to it. Assuming she moves the paper via wind from her fan, all someone would need to do would be to disrupt the wind flow. Even running back and forth really fast should mess with her paper manipulation.

So that brings the tally to Phantom Troupe - 5, and Zodiacs - 7. I mostly agree with you on many of these outcomes, so... that's a plus, right?
