So far, we have seen four Imperial Inquisitors in Star Wars Rebels: The Grand Inquisitor, the Seventh Sister, the Fifth Brother, and an unidentified Inquisitor seen fighting Ahsoka, Kanan and Ezra on Malachor.
So, a few questions:
Do you think Inquisitors are inherently meant to hunt down and kill low-level Jedi (Knights, Padawans, etc.)? And if so, why?
Is the Grand Inquisitor the most powerful / skilled of them all? And how do you think the Grand Inquisitor is chosen? Experience, intelligence, combat skill...?
Where do you rank each individual Inquisitor so far?
How many Inquisitors are there, and what determines their rank?

Re: The Imperial Inquisitorious
That seems to be the general consensus, though I haven't seen the quote supporting it. What we do know is that Filoni said Sheev didn't want them being too powerful so the most powerful one would be slightly beneath Ventress at best. This is in keeping with Sheev being fine with Ventress until she hit a certain level of power at season 3. So no, I don't necessarily think Sidious not wanting them to be too powerful means they can't be Jedi Master level combatants, though I haven't necessarily seen the support for them being on that level either, with the exception of the Grand Inquisitor who seems to be at least a Jedi Master level combatant given his standing in the Jedi Order, as well as his knowledge of all seven forms.
Yes I believe the Grand Inquisitor is the most powerful and skilled, and given his position in the Jedi temple as well as his analytical skills and knowledge of the Jedi Order, I'd say his skill, tactics, analysis, experience, and inside Jedi knowledge just made him the best choice on multiple fronts.
Grand Inquisitor>Seventh Sister>Fifth Brother
I doubt the new guy is>Grand Inquisitor, but I'd say he's likely at least above the Fifth Brother since the Fifth Brother is a derp.
I don't think their numbers are ranks. They seem more like designations to me, much like the Cipher Agents in SWTOR. Otherwise Fifth Bro being higher ranked than Seventh Sis makes zero sense.

Yes, though in the canon there seems to be less of a discrepancy between strong Jedi and weak Jedi.
I don't know; I'll probably have a more conclusive answer once we've seen the new Inquisitor in action. I think all of the things you mentioned were involved in his selection.
They all have their individual strengths. The Fifth Brother is definitely the most powerful physically and in the Force, the Seventh Sister is easily the best tracker and the most cunning of the bunch, and the Grand Inquisitor is the most well rounded with talents in many areas like piloting.
If you're asking me who the better duelist is between Grand and Seventh, then I'd say it's pretty evenly matched. It's pretty much a matter of technical skill and cold intelligence vs unorthodoxy and cunning.
There's probably not much more than ten of them. Their "rank" is determined by the order they joined the Inquisitorius.

There's at least 13 of them if there's 1 GI, at least 7 sisters, and at least 5 brothers.

Eh I still rate Legends Inquisitors as being above them, mostly because they aren't freaking streamlined and were more diverse with their powers than just mere TK.

Yeah but Malorum did decently against Ferus, which is more impressive than any combative showings I've seen from the Rebels inquizzies

Eh Tesla was hurling/deflecting around 5 meter steel beams and chucking Force Lighting and having Force Barrier, Force Speed, wouldn't really say those are basic...at least it being more than just TK.
Although I wasn't singling out any one Inquisitor, was kinda lumping them as a whole.

The emperor's hands were selected from the best of the Grand Inquisitors though.
And Sheev also says Emperor's Hand>Shadow Guard>Inquisitor
Obviously it makes sense that a hand would be leaps and bounds above an inquisitor.

According to the Ultimate Star Wars, the GI's role is to "investigate Force-sensitive individuals and execute swift judgement", you'll also remember how the 7th Sister and 5th Brother were tasked with capturing Force sensitive Younglings, so I think their role expands beyond that to encompass all Force-sensitives of interest. They basically deal with them, which makes sense as Vader can't be expected to handle that all by himself. When he's got other responsibilities besides.
EDIT: Oh and interrogation, according to the TFA Visual Dictionary they actually developed interrogation devices, and of course we see the GI interrogate Kanan.
So I would say there role is actually pretty similar if not the same as it was in Legends.Probably the GI, and I imagine a mixture of all three.
GI, 7th Sister, 5th Brother.I think the number denotes the point at which they joined the organisation i.e. she's the 7th Sister because 6 others have come before her.
