Hm, I'm trying to think who'd be best against him. You need someone fast enough for their attacks to not be paw-paw deflected, but also able to deal damage.
Soi Fon's fast enough, but I can't see her poison technique insta kill working. Byakuya's swirl of blades could do superficial damage, but a KO blow would require more than that. If he focuses all his power into one blade that may do, but it'd be harder to get an opportunity to hit with that.
Perhaps Toshiro's 'snowflakes of doom' could encase him (hm, but *that* really needs to be used against Crocodile...).
Or... oh, they could use a combination of moves. Like, Byakuya hit him with 6-rods kido to freeze him in place and stop him from paw-blocking a massive strike from Yama.
I think it's possible for them to handle Kuma, but he is a major problem, and it may take multiple people to do it.

Normally I'd factor in teamwork and tactics, but the Shichibukai don't have any teamwork, and the Gotei 13 don't use tactics. So, in that respect they're fairly even.
