Gaara wins....lets face it. Itachi altho at full health, he still possesses a Normal Mangekyo...which means he gets all its drawbacks and pains, Gaara is basically immune against Amaterasu and Susanoo attacks cuz of the Sand Shield, Genjutsu wise he can use Sand Sensing or Third Eye like he did to counter Gengetsu's Genjutsus....plus he is a long range fighter and can fly, also possessing more chakra than Itachi. Unless its Tsukuyomi, it will be difficult for Itachi to capture him in that.if Gaara resorts to his large scale sand jutsus, Itachi is done honestly. Gaara knows of the Basic Susanoo's weakpoints....Itachi will already have a hard time maintaining his own Mangekyo techniques, fending off Sand Tsunami's and Sand Prisons and Surviving Giant Sand Burials, mixed in with Gaara's Magnet Release, while his Instantaneous Sand Shield blocks automatically...nah. Itachi may have more finesse as a ninja but Gaara has way more power, plus too many advantages not to point out, in all fairness.
