I feel like Kakashi in part 2 would take them both down mid difficulty, and in Part 1 high difficulty. If he had his A-game for the Part 1 fight, he'd never have been caught by Zabuza. in Part 2, he didn't have any trouble with their reanimated corpses

Kakashi did need Santa Yamanaka's sensing abilities to get close enough to Zabuza in his mist to fight Zabuza in Part 2, and Zabuza and Haku weren't just fighting Kakashi they were also killing members of the Third Division where in this fight they are focused just on Kakashi.
