How much Itachi knows about Minato considerably changes the fight though. Itachi knows a great deal about Minato's legacy, but that's not vice versa. Considering my OP, I suggested Edo forms to give a certain level of preparedness for them both. Itachi has the advantage in this regard. He could summon clones and crows in an effort to reduce Minato's targeting, all the while attempting to force Minato to make eye contact. This may really be the deciding factor for me--if Itachi would know enough to counter the Flying God of Thunder. I'm also trying to not assume that since Tobi was somewhat unprepared, Itachi would be as well.
