The 4th Databook states that Tobirama could use all the 5 basic elements. We know he was proficient in Water release, which is useless against Kisame. But as you mentioned in an earlier post, if Tobirama has sufficient mastery of Lightning release, then Tobirama has a huge advantage as Kisame will get electrocuted in his own water prison, although that won't even come close to killing him. But it would be an advantage nonetheless.

Either way, I personally go for Tobirama. My main reason for support is his feat of killing Izuna, who was about equal to MS Madara. We've also seen Tobirama's intelligence in his battle against Juubito. And while he may not have bijuu-level chakra, we do know that his chakra is very powerful and has large reserves of it, as we all saw what he did with a raise of his finger.

In fact, I might even venture to speculate that Tobirama has chakra volume roughly equal to at least Shukaku. The reason being that Hashirama has as much chakra as full Kurama, if not more. His rival Madara (who was Indra's transmigrant) must also have had bijuu-level chakra in order to compete with Hashirama. Plus Madara possessed the chakra of a demigod. So it's quite certain that Madara's chakra was also bijuu-level. And it's been suggested in the manga that Tobirama was comparable to a 25 year old MS Madara. So there's a good possibility that Tobirama had at least Shukaku-level chakra. It's certainly more than Minato, who was visibly shocked at what Hashi and Tobi's power when Hashi threatened Tobirama to calm down. Minato himself possessed very high volume of chakra, as he was a True Sage like Naruto. So Minato being shocked by the 1st and 2nd's brief confrontation is a testament to the fact that Tobirama does indeed have an unusually powerful chakra.
