I would say the mirage turtles are stronger but their capabilities are inconsistent. For example; the turtles would be able to defeat a powerful, evil ninja master but then lose to some punk, just inconsistent. The turtles are basically 50/50 when fighting each other. They are equally strong in their own ways.

Unlike 2k3 which godmoded Leonardo ONLY and neglected the other turtles, mainly Raph. 2k3 Raph is the weakest turtle and literally adds nothing to the team. His anger is a nuisance, his fighting skills are laughable, his strength can be surpassed, his intellect is laughable as well. So unlike the original Raph whose anger boosted his strength and his skills in hand to hand combat is unsurpassed. He basically slapped Shredder around with just his fists, but is somehow unable to do the same with the sai. Again, the original is better but very inconsistent.

2012 turtles are actually pretty well done. Except Donatello gets beaten too easily. Inconsistencies still happen though. Such as Raph learning to cope with emotions in Turtle Temper yet manages to forget his lesson in Follow the Leader. The show does show noticeable growth in combat skills though, which is good.

I would rank best to worst in combat prowess
#1 Mirage, the turtles are powerful and are equally strong in comparison. Ignore the comics that strayed too far from the source material. They are disowned for a reason.
#2 2012 'tis good
#3 1989, in the early episodes they showed quite a bit of awesome combat skeels, more so than 2k3. It gets ruined by the later episodes though.
#4 2k3, 'cause the show only god modes Leonardo. You are only as strong as your weakest link. I also really disliked the story and its writing,TIS SUCKY TROLOLOL.

Also I would like to mention that peeps tend to be exaggerating Donatello's so called "dark side". Most of his vile attitude came from an affliction and not his own personality. All of his questionable deeds were actually done in the best interest of his family.

Raphael is the natural, violent psychopath which is why I love his stories. So much interesting things. The stories that mellowed him out make me sick. I wish the writers would just embrace the monstrosity within Raphael. It makes a better story than conforming to the idea of perfection.
