Shinohara's explanation to Juuzou words it differently.

Koukaku

Ukaku

Rinkaku

Binkaku

With each lower level being more powerful than the other. So, Koukaku < Ukaku < Rinkaku, Binkaku.

Tsukiyama < Touka < Kaneki < Nishiki.

This only seems to apply as far as strengths of the kagune itself though. I.e. A koukaku shield can be broken through by a Ukaku type kagune, while a Binkaku type can probably cut through/destroy a Rinkaku's kagune. It depends on the individual Ghoul too, since we know Nishiki can never beat Kaneki.
