The second sentence would be correct. (unless Shido's Yamamoto-level. Then it would be only the Head Captain.) In addition, the Shinigami aren't "gods" more than they are "reapers". The Hankami, on the other hand, are exactly what their translation tells them to be: half-gods. After all, if the watchers of existence were only as strong as Captains and thus could be killed by them, they wouldn't be worshiped and revered as much.

The Hankami do have their power lessened when the Plinian Eruption occurs, just to... I donno, Kyoraku-level? I would do Yamamoto-level, but let's face it; that would just kill the reason for the one-on-one fighting that will occur afterwards. So there is really no need to worry about power levels and the like when the real fights start during that time period.
