It is difficult to compare the two associations, but there has been a lot of research done in this space the past few years. I've linked to a database put together that calculates/estimates the Major League Equivalencies for what a Negro League performance would have looked like statistically within MLB.

Josh Gibson would likely place higher than Bench if taken into consideration. Guys like Oscar Charleston and Willie Wells likely wouldn't crack these starting lineups, but would fall under your Players of Note category.
