Ashwin vs Jadeja

Who deserves more to be in an Indian ATG XI?

No one says that, no.

But it might be one of the only series performances in Australia in cricket history where you could argue quite strongly that a finger spinner was the best bowler from the touring side in a series win (This is not any more arbitrary than your "Where are the 5fers" criteria).
Some may reckon that the best bowler of the series was actually Mohammad Siraj. No support of Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja in Brisbane and he led the attack admirably. Picked 5-fer in Brisbane. He was good in 2nd and 3rd test also. He came and the momentum changed after a relatively humiliating loss at Adelaide in Pink Ball test.

I reckon yes. Came in 2nd test and turned the series from 0-1 to 2-1 with the help of several other players such as Pant, Ashwin, Bumrah, Jadeja, Rahane and Pujara.
He wasn't the lead bowler outside of Brisbane. And even there Shardul took 7 wickets overall. It's one thing to rate Siraj, another to say he was the best that series.
