In Destiny, it would be Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice against Destiny and Legend. I didn't finish Stargazer and never read/saw Astray, but for Astray I'd guess either Aegis or Sword Calamity since the main unit, the Astray, is a weak prototype. For Stargazer, the Strike Noir or the Destroy Gundam would be the strongest. Pain or damage don't end the world, or despair or beatings.
The world ends when you're dead. Until then you've got more punishment in store.
Stand it like a man, and give some back. |

And a quick search you coudl have done you could of found this. Quote: |
In C.E. 71, ZAFT's ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam comes to be known as one of the most powerful mobile suits ever created. Three years later, it's destroyed in a battle with Shinn Asuka's ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam. Although pilot Kira Yamato is forced to briefly pilot the aging MBF-02 Strike Rouge, he soon receives the powerful new ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam.

Seed: Freedom, Justice and Providence
Seed Destiny: Freedom before it gets owned, Strike Freedom, Infinite Justice, Destiny and Legend
Stargazer: Mostly just powered up of exsisting versions, Strike Noir Blue Duel et al. and the Stargazer. |

I guess they would have been pretty powerful at the beginning, since they had beam weaponry (prior to the creation and theft of the Gundams in SEED, both sides were still relying on conventional and laser weaponry, rather than plasma beam weapons), but once that tech was reverse-engineered, they got outclassed pretty quickly.
The Astrays get most of their "power" due to their ingenious pilots, who have developed all sorts of modifications and add-ons to their base suits to handle different environments and situations.
On the villain side, however, you've got the supremely evil-looking Gold Frame Astray, which in its final incarnation has the ability to leech energy from any mobile suit within its area-of-effect radius like some giant mechanical vampire, which is just brutal in a universe where the majority of suits are battery powered, shutting them down entirely in a matter of minutes (and even nuclear powered suits still function using a battery fed by the reactor, so while they won't totally shut down while being drained, their maximum output will certainly be hampered). Also having recovered a lost arm from SEED's Blitz Gundam, it gained Phase Shift and Mirage Colloid (invisibility cloak) capabilities. The only thing really holding it back is that it's very much a close-range superiority suit. It only possesses one beam gun and three Lancer Darts (explosive javelins, pretty much, fired from the shield on its right arm), while featuring all sorts of close and mid-range weaponry, from the bladed claw on its left arm, to spiked feet, its double swords and bladed shield edge, and the projectile spears on its wings.
As far as I know, the Gold Frame Astray has yet to be destroyed, but I don't think it has any active involvement in the current Astray series, either. |

It's mostly Lowe's clever piloting and improvised upgrades that let him clinch a win. Honestly I prefer that to the overpowered suits of Destiny.
X Astray has a couple of interesting suits, though - the Hyperion Gundam has the same shield system as the battlebase Artemis from the beginning of SEED, which sucks up power like nobody's business but while it is active, nothing can scratch that suit. I've not read volume two of X Astray yet, so I can't comment on the other major new suit in that volume, the Dreadnought Gundam.
None of the suits in Stargazer seemed to be that powerful, though. They were all mostly older suits, which would have been totally outclassed anywhere else. Even the Stargazer itself wasn't all that, in fact it isn't even a combat model. It's a deep space exploration suit with an advanced AI and a special propulsion system.  Quote: |

It's the test suit for the DRAGOON system. It's essentially a GuAIZ body with a Gundam head, and a four-DRAGOON backpack add-on. Quote: |

That, and his classy Armor Shneider finishers. |
