Itachi wins hands down. Itachi is faster and has way better genjutsu and taijutsu feats.

he can still use his super-high taijutsu abilitys and he still is by far superior with genjutsu, and despite kakashis "thousand jutsus" he really didnt impress me...

from the fight with sasuke after he killed danzo we saw that they are roughly equal in taijutsu (he couldnt overhelm worn-out sasuke), and itachi easily wiped the floor with sasuke in his most nerfed state... Yeah that part was rather ridiculous, as Sasuke had been stabbed by Danzo with his wind-enhanced kunai, yet Sasuke moved around as if nothing has happened: effortlessly manifesting the Susanoo and firing the arrows, then having a brief scuffle with Naruto that involved a chidori. And in all these scuffles he didn't show a single sign of the pain and fatigue that would result from a stab wound. In the end, Kakashi was nerfed so that Kishi could get a boner out of his favourite pastime (glorifying Sasuke).
