Except Diablo is one hell of a fast runner, and neither of the two have any close range attacks that can stand up to his Red Lightning Hose. Given the amoun tof life that all three have, it doesn't matter if either Mephisto or Baal manage to blast Diablo like hell for a few seconds before he closes up, he will still be able to take them down.
However, judging this from a lore perspective, it's much harder to say, and I don't think we'll ever see enough of the Three in order to make a definite judgment of the situation. Since Diablo has been stated as being the strongest however, I'd go with him even there as of now.
Yes, I took the fast running (legs and arms) into account, but honestly: have you taken Baal's tentacles into effect? Yes, Diablo can easily rip them apart, but it will be enough time for Mephisto and/or Baal to double their damage at the beginning of the fight. Then again, this assuption is based on if Diablo was the first target in the fight. Baal might be able to hold his own for a while on 2v1 and we all know that Mephisto will be ripped to shreds 2v1.
Summary:
Diablo = Strongest
Mephisto = Most Powerful
Baal = Time Efficient (Annoying XD)

Well if we put tactics into the equation, there'd be no fight at all, for none of them would ever attack the other. So far as we've seen, there's never been an indication that there's any form of in-fighting between the Three, and even if there was, none of them would be foolish enough to rush into combat head on with each other.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
The tentacles are pointless, I personally just run right past them and diablo probably would too. And if he were to get surrounded he's got his flame nova.

I would like to correct something I said in my last post: I said that they neglected to give evidence of the hole made by the soulstone in the 'There's something dark within me now' trailer. I had a second look and the scarring on the wanderers head is, in fact, visible.
Here is the frame from the trailer - it's a little clearer than my avatar. You can just see the edge of the wound on his forehead:
That still leaves the sewn mouth inconsistency. Im not sure who removed the stitching, or when it happened, but I think it is likely that the warrior may have sewn his own lips together as a measure to contain Diablo (when the warriors own soul was still quite strong). It does make sense...
i would have to go with baal since hes the youngest and in most mytholigy the youngest of the evil brothers is always the greater one and ends up killing them for ultimate domination
I vote for Diablo because he always seemed a lot more beefy and powerful to me than anyone else. Baal is stronger in the actual game, though, but Diablo gave me more problems on Nightmare and Hell.

Diablo is the youngest one. Yet somehow he is the leader of the Three. The cinematics in DII clearly portray Mephisto as the leader.

I'm gonna have to say Diablo... just seems like 'baddest' of the 3

Being tactical and wise may not always beat plain brute strength, and diablo has plenty of that

Stated from the Blizzard website and experience of the Pandemonium event here it is:
Diablo is the TANK
Baal is the DOTTER (Damage Over Time)
Mephisto is the ARTILLERY
My opinion would be between Baal and Mephisto, both do range damage and can probally take Diablo down by attacking from afar despite Diablo's Fire Nova. Baal will try to use range and timing to his advantage (Clone, Tentacle, ETC) while Mephisto on the other hand would use Pure Damage. Between the two, its a matter of chance and focus, If Mephisto manages to use all his power on the original Baal (with clone), Baal's dead, however if he attack the clone, then Mephisto is dead.
Anyways, I'm voting for Mephisto

Mephisto is the oldest, wisest, most evil, and the most powerful, so he would naturally be the leader.

You have to admit that he's good.
This is true, but then again this is a deathmatch between the three XD
