Sasuke's fanbase always amaze me. What they're essentially saying by thinking Sasuke's ideals were better for peace than Naruto's is "dictatorship from the shadows = peace", which is 1) absurd and 2) an oxymoron. Look Naruto's a pretty naive kid, won't deny that, but what Naruto is trying to do is FAR different from what Hashirama tried, and even HIS way led to longer term peace. The funniest part of this entire discussion is that the guy Sasuke killed, Danzō, had the exact same line of thinking and hardly anyone outside his herd of sheep bought into it.

Essentially, Hashirama tried to evenly distribute the Tailed Beasts' to each of the great nations and in terms of HIS village, tried to eliminate the framework of clans. The latter goal, was successful for the most part. As someone above me said already, Naruto is trying to bring back the concept of Ninshu, which is drastically different than what's been tried in the past.
