Based on JLA: Tower of Babel, Batman would win. In that writing he was able to defeat each and every member of the JLA due to the fact he kept detailed databases on all of them. He literally took down the whole JLA by himself (and i mean ALL the major characters - Superman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, the Flash, Wonderwoman and Aquaman).
Now, based on JLA: Tower of Babel, the number two guy would be Martian Manhunter. It says in the comic that he too used to have a database on all the JLA (and other) superbeings, but that he destroyed it. It can be assumed that MM still has knowledge of all their weaknesses.
Anyways, it all boils down to this.
An open battle (not a quasi-assasination attempt like what Batman did) would probably end as follows.
1) Martian Manhunter. This guy is one of the most under-estimated people in the League. HE has near-Superman strength, has virtually all of Superman's powers (superbreath, martian vision etc), is one of the most potent telepaths in the universe (he could literally broil Xavier's mind), can turn intangible, can shape-shift, etc. And he had a detailed database on all of the League's abilities (Batman had a similar database, but Batman's was probably more lethal since it only delved with their weaknesses).
2) Superman. If Superman ever ran amok no one could be able to stop him. If he ever went mad and decided to use ALL of his abilities it would be over for everyone.
3) Green Lantern. Another power juggernaut! As Ion and Parallax it is seen that the energies that power the Green Lantern can destroy and create universes. However the above two examples were possible only when all other GLs were destroyed. Normally your typical Green Lantern is much weaker - much much weaker - but they stillwield a weapon that depends on their will power. That makes them exceedingly powerful (as long as they are not facing the MM, who would just affect their mind). A Green Lantern can ve quite deadly.
4) The Flash. This is another udner-estimated character. Most people think he can only zip about at super-speed, but he is literally able to go at the speed of light. At this speed his mass and force approach infinity, and he could literally punch harder than anyone can comprehend. All physical attacks would also be useless against him if he oscillated his body, becoming intangible (although MM could still affect his mind, and Supes could also oscillate his being and 'catch' the Flash).
5) Wonderwoman. Nigh Superman strength. Need i say more?
6) Aquaman. This is a toughie! The current Aquaman has strength that is quite amazing (not Wonderwoman level, but strong enough to do a lot). And he is a strong telepath - although it is rarely mentioned he can do a lot of telepathic attacks (and i do not mean against fish). He is nowhere near Martian Manhunter, but he is quite strong. He is also very fast - but because the JLA has much faster people this never makes it out much. Aquaman can run quite fast.
Now, the future version of Aquaman is something else. He is much stronger, and is able to even boil the water in someone's body! That Aquaman would beat Wonderwoman easy, but the current one has to be at number 6.
7) Batman. Bruce defeated the entire JLA. But that was due to them not expecting it. With this being a brawl, Batman would have little hope of doing much. All the people above are much stronger and faster than he is. Batman is the most dangerous man alive, and in many cases he can take down the entire JLA by himself (as he has before), but only IF the JLA is unawares. Against a JLA moving to take him down he would have little recourse. He may be able to take out one, but that's the most he could do.
8) Plastic man. Way out of this league - pun intended.
