I suggest that you think about it in your head before playing with numbers. The first one is pretty obvious but hopefully the subsequent ones will be interesting. *I know I've left out a key component but go with it.

'rank the hands fom best to worst' - not quite clear what this means. Is it, which has the greatest equity against villain's calling range? Or, which has the most positive difference in EV between pushing and the best alternative line?

Greatest ev given how the hand was played.

OK depends on metagame a bit, I think.

Off the top of my head I guess JJ, 43, 98, AK, 77 given the likely situation I would be calling these hands pre.

This is what I get, assuming an "aggressive 2p2 who 3-bets light" is rr'ing { 22+, AJ+, Axs, KQ, KJs-97s, QJs-76s, KTs } (17%), autobetting the flop, and not calling off overly tight. In this case JJ is jamming for value, albeit rather thin.

I guess he means which hand that has most equity against villains calling range.
