Hashirama wins. Mokuton > bijuu. How is minato marking hashirama for free? Hashirama is at least as good as madara is in taijutsu, if Minato tries to blitz him and engage in taijutsu hashirama will obliterate him, he is far more skilled and has been killing Adult  uchihas before he even hit puberty. His combat experience alone from growing up during the Warring States Period outclasses minato. Sure, Minato can defend against hashirama's techniques with FTG barrier but for how long ? hashirama outlasts him in any case. hashirama also ruins minato's strategy of creating various flying rajin safe heavens across the battlefield because his basic Deep forest emergence uproots and changes the terrain violently and he has way too many area of effect attacks to boot, so minato will have a hard time teleporting to safety consistently. Creating a Bijuu dama takes time and concentration and hashirama has experience fighting the nine tails already, he has shown the ability to capture bijuu damas with his Golem, and has been able to block them with wood style techs and the Rashomoon gates. Don't forget how Hashirama likes to deceive with wood clones as well. Death Reaper Seal isn't a draw for two reasons. What happens when Minato accidentally uses the death reaper Seal on a wood clone? and even then, its been shown that the death reaper seal is a like tug of war. Hashirama can suppress minato's bijuu powers and he is far stronger/ has way more chakra than minato does, if minato grabs him and tries to steal his soul hashirama can counter. If minato tries to play a game of shadow clones hashirama can outdo him with wood clones. Even in the best case scenario where minato somehow tags the real hashirama (not a wood clone) hashirama can still counter attack if minato tries to teleport behind him, just like killer bee could react.
