Last I checked edos didn't lose stamina easily.. Also it gets restored quickly for edos. Madara ain't winning with his reserves. Perhaps I didn't articulate it clearly. It's true that Edo Itachi won't have any stamina issues. Only LIVE Itachi will have stamina issues. And if it is LIVE Itachi vs LIVE EMS Madara, I opined that Itachi won't use TB on Madara straight away. Rather, he'd assess the situation first, which should give Madara enough time to start pressurising Itachi.

Now, in terms of pre-TTJ Rinnegan Madara (Edo or otherwise), the Rinnegan has the ability to absorb chakra from Itachi's Susanoo, as well as the ability to rip out Itachi's soul from his Edo body.

Putting these factors in mind, I put my money on Madara in all cases.
