Unfortunetly i have to go with the Bonds squad. As much as i dont like Bondss i have to go with Reggie and Willie. Willie is argueably the best all around outfielder while Jackson is Mr. October. Eventually Bonds will have the home run record so that will put him ahead of Aaron with a Asterisk***. Match player by player Aaron to Bonds, I'd give the advantage to Aaron, Jackson to Yaskremski, Jackson, and Mays to Clemente, though it is about equal I'd take Willie any day.

a couple problems with your question, what period exactly are you calling their prime... for instance, bonds prime to some was the late '90's when he was a more complete player for the pirates, while others feel it was in his homer happy years. and reggie had some up and down years.... at any rate to answer your question, IMO.... Id have to say Clemente, Yaz, and Hank. Your Barry, Reggie, Willie group has some seious strikeout issues. Ill venture a guess that their defensive numbers are a little less, but thats only a guess. Also, the Bonds, Reggie grouping looks to be a little short on B.A. also. My opinion only.
My outfield:
Musial '54 (RF), Mays '55 (CF), Williams '49(LF)
Keep in mind, this arguement could go on forever and ever

Roberto Clemente, Yaz, and Aaron.
Clemente had all the skills. His last hit was his 3000th. Yaz also was a great competitor--won the triple crown in '67, had well-over 3000 hits, hit for average, great fielder, very smart. Aaron was the most underrated player in baseball history. He played despite a number of death threats when in pursuit of Babe Ruth. He also had a rifle arm, outstanding fielder. Had the quickest wrists in history.
Bond's suspected steroid usage tarnishes his image. And that's too bad. He's a hall of famer even without the stuff. Jackson's average was sub-par, lifetime probably didn't even hit .270. Only was a fair fielder. He was a winner though wherever he went. Mays was the best all-around player of all times. Outstanding fielder, great baserunner, power hitter, could do it all.
The way the question was asked I'd pick Roberto, Yaz & Hank.

No question. It would be Clemente, Yaz and Aaron. Those guys put up great numbers during what was considered a "pitchers era" in the 60s.
Hell, in '68 with the old 15 inch high mound, Carl Yaz was the only .300 hitter in the AL (.301).
If those guys were around today, all 3 would be pushing .400 with 50+ HR a season and all without the use of steroids!

If it's between group A or group B, I'd take Clemente, Yank and Aaron. If it's any 3 outfielders in their prime, maybe Williams, Mays and Aaron, not that I ever saw any of my group play in their prime.
