Hard to say for sure. I think a lot of people will say that Madara won simply because he could regenerate as edo tensei, but really, I think he likely would have won regardless. He'd have left the battle wounded, I think, and surely tired AF from juggling five Kage, but I think he'd have won still.

Therefore -- imagining Bringer-of-Darkness, and Wood Dragons, and Advent of World of Flowering Trees, and personal regeneration jutsus, and Top Transformed Buddha, and Sage Mode, and overall virtuoso skill -- I give this battle to Hashirama. Again, it wouldn't be super simple for him, as with Madara. But I think he'd win, and I think he'd do it better than Madara did, edo tensei or not.
