His 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010 seasons were without a doubt his 4 best. He made zero 1st-Team All-NBA teams when LeBron was there, and just one 2nd-Team. That's pretty comparable to what Pippen was doing when those Bulls teams were winning rings.
Wade has that 2006 ring which is probably the trump card over Pippen. If Pippen won a ring without MJ I'm sure he'd go ahead of Wade.
