this is one I have a very hard time deciding because on one hand Itachi has stronger genjutsu, but on the other Sasuke has stronger ninjutsu and dojutsu. Sasuke has much more chakra, but Itachi is more intelligent. Sasuke's faster than Itachi but both their sharingan can read movement. Sasuke's Susanoo sword is just as much an instant kill due to the Amaterasu flames the sword can produce, but Itachi has the Yata mirror which gives it better defense. Sasuke's Susanoo harpoon arrow is faster and stronger than Itachi's Yasaka Magatama but it may not be able to break through Yata mirror.

if I were forced to choose a victor I would have to go with Sasuke with extreme difficulty and only due to his superior chakra reserves. I don't think Itachi's genjutsu is going to come to play as Sasuke has broken through Itachi's tsukuyomi before and he can do it again if need be. I don't think Sasuke's faster movement speed would make much difference as sharingan can read movement and Sasuke isn't that much faster than Itachi. Itachi can probably block Amaterasu with his Susanoo but so can Sasuke.
