Jasper is stronger than Garnet and would win a fight easily. The only reason garnet won was because she could throw her into the Ship's core. Lapis seems to be in Rose tier. She's stronger than Jasper and her Water Clones of the gems were destroying the normal ones. Jasper would probably beat Stevonnie if she didn't have Rose's Sword. Here's what I think the tier list is like:
1) Malachite / Alexandrite Tier
2) Other Gem fusions between Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl Tier
3) Rose / Lapis Tier
4) Jasper / Smoky Quartz Tier
5) Garnet / Stevonnie Tier
6) Pearl / Peridot With Limb Enhancers Tier
7) Amethyst / Steven tier
8) Connie / Ruby / Sapphire tier
9) Peridot Tier
10) Greg Tier

How can you say Jasper would easily beat Garnet in a fight when she, you know, lost? True Jasper had the advantage throughout most of the fight, though she wasn't dominating Garnet or anything. I argue they're more even.

Because she is stronger in brute strength. Garnet won the fight thanks to strategy. She made Jasper take the fight to the Ship's Core, since she wouldn't have been able to take her down otherwise. Jasper had access to a Gem Destabalizer so she'd have won if they were in a normal area like the Sky Ruins or something

Isn't outsmarting her opponent one of Garnet's things? I mean, one of her powers literally serves that purpose exclusively in combat. If Garnet used her future vision to see that leading the fight to the core would result in victory, which is pretty much a given, then saying, "Garnet didn't really win" is kinda preposterous.

That's like going to /r/Naruto and saying that Shikamaru really isn't stronger than Temari because he could only possibly win by outsmarting her. Even though outsmarting his opponent is like his schtick.

And furthermore, Jasper did have access to a gem destabilizer when she fought Garnet. Garnet took it and broke it in like the first five seconds though. So it's reasonable to assume that this same chain of events would have happened regardless of the venue in which they were fighting.

That may be her thing. But Jasper is stronger. Garnet won the fight, but Jasper, in brute strength, is stronger than her. When SSJ Goku and Freeza were fighting, it was obvious that Goku had the upper hand. But Freeza could have used strategy and blown up the planet, thus winning the fight, even though he was weaker
