WW now as God of War is too, IMO.
Aquaman doesn't have as powerful of TP, but he's just as if not more so stronger.
Atom is likely just as smart, so no problems there.
He could always do that, though. Without the self doubt that made him freeze up. Not to mention speed steals etc.
WW was always plenty strong. But she now has a lesser lasso and bracers.
Same with Aqua man. Possibly stronger, but weaker TP, or at least, its not been shown yet.
Midnighter is also less formidable, I feel, as is Hawksmoor.
There are a lot of pros and cons about both.
WW is physically above her previous counterpart imo but she isn't as skilled or as fast.
Superman seems stronger but he isn't as formidable as he use to be and he isn't as fast either.
Batman seems the same.
Deathstroke got an amp imo. It's debatable though.
Martian got a push.
Atom got a huge push.
Despero isn't as formidable.
Orion is alright. Could say the same.
Grundy got a huge push.
Flash didn't get a push.
Superboy got a push as well.
Sinestro is the same.
Supergirl got a power increase.
Cyborg Superman has been decreased in power imo.
Mongul is a beast and he got a push.
Darkseid got a huge push. The most dangerous being in the universe.
Lobo sucks.
Aquaman got a push physically.

Sinestro can now control Parallax. I don't know if he could do that pre-flashpoint.
Supegirl will more than likely get a push with the how the current storyline is going.
everyone is younger and more powerful than they previously were
Superman is as powerful as the writers need him to be
Wonder Woman is a full fledged god now
GL specifically Kyle is pretty much top tier in the DC power hierarchy
Flash is weaker but that's mostly because its Barry
Aquaman is strangely weaker

Forgot about Kyle with Life Equation. Yet, another power boost, even if it's temperary.
This is a bit too general to answer well. There are characters from both sides of FP that would defeat their counterparts. On the whole, things are probably still weighted toward pre-FP's favor, if only because we're talking about nearly 30 years compared to, what, 3-4? Recency bias will sway many, but the backlog of feats is still much higher for pre-FP.
Obviously temporary boosts like the Life Equation probably shouldn't be factored in, though, imo. Then we're just cherry-picking arcs or versions of characters to try to make a point, without normalizing the playing field.
