Going to have to go with Minato. It's quite clear that Part 1 power levels were retconned a while ago. Hiruzen was called the God of Shinobi in Part 1, then Hashirama's real ability came to light and put anything Hiruzen's done to shame. I also don't think the other Kage were fleshed out at that time, because I'm quite sure Ay, Gaara's dad, Yagura and Ohnoki would be able to take him. I also doubt he can use Hiden techniques, he probably just knows their inner workings. So yeah, Minato with Sage Mode probably takes the win.
