Kakashi probably since he has better and diversity in his techniques. Also he sort of already fought someone able to manipulate mass to pull and retract objects at high velocity. To which he responded with a body double jutsu to use as lethal lightning decoy while the real Kakashi burrows underground for the headhunter technique.

This is one of those scenerios where you just got to completely overwhelm the character to win kind like the Jiraiya vs Master Roshi. I don't see Obi Wan in that category, though I'm really just relying on the movies not the cartoon or EU... I know he has Sensory which is a tool to stop any ninja but it dont mean much against someone who can travel and react at speeds quicker than lightning.

Lighting clones and surprise attacks would be useless against Obi-wan’s precog and force senses

Doesn't matter, Kakashi is faster and i doubt Obi could react to the lethal discharge if he sabered the clone in close proximity.

Obi has reacted to lightning before in cannon

He scales to Vader who compares suppressed Sidious lightsaber strikes to lightning in their fight

If you use EU I’m pretty sure that Obi isn’t going to be completely blitzed because of precognition and time hax

Im aware.. If kakashi was a brawler or swordmaster id give it to obi wan but he isnt. He always relied on feints to fool those with precognition. rather than throw a bolt of lightning that obi could easily deflect. He would use a body double let obiwan close in for the saber kill, as the saber is pierce through kakashi the body explodes in electrical shock channels through obi's body.

I havent seen any jedi react to something that close, their sensory can detect threats, i don't think they can not discern what it can do let alone react properly. Most of the impressive feats I've seen from SW (haven't read EU) in the movie and cartoons usually had few feet of distance to react, kakashi doesn't give anyone that window to react.

That's why the writer had to introduce these dumb character's later who body could tank pretty much any lightning, explosive or pierce damage which is unfortunately when the power scaling in the series went completely stupid.
