To be honestly, a serious battle between Kakashi and Kabuto wouldn't be such a good idea. Those two are almost equally skilled and both highly experienced. As you may have noticed, the both of them had never engaged on a real battle and I think Kishimoto did it on purpose. They both have different advantages on different ways.

Kabuto is good in deceiving, medical tactics and coming up with some forbidden techniques, he must also be stronger in poisons since he is a skilled medical ninja.

Kakashi is stronger in my opinion. He has the sharingan and chidori after all. Kabuto said himself that he is not good at taijutsu, so Kakashi has to be better than him at hand to hand combat, and would totally blow him away in ninjutsu and genjutsu (because of the sharingan).
