When Madara was revived he won but this was because an Edo Tensei is always weaker than the actual living person. So with that one factor out of the way I say with 100% certainty Hashirama wins this because as stated this fight already happened.

As for your comment about waiting on the Juubito fight this is a slight error on your part. While true he was waiting for Obito to weaken, he was still trying to win and wasn't stalling for time. As he noted he wanted to fight the "real" Hashirama and not his clone one last time before becoming the 10 tails Jinchuriki. Madara wasn't able to fully access the powers of the Rinnegan.

I have a theory about how edotensei works, if the person you're trying to revive is stronger then the caster the edotensei will be weaker than he was back during his life in correlation to the users skill, so Kabuto when he revived Muu, Muu was revived at full strength due to Kabuto being stronger than Muu, but since Madara is notably stronger the Kabuto, Kabuto only managed to revive Madara at 50%. Orochimaru absorbed Kabuto skill with edotensei and added it onto his own was able to revive Hashirama at 75%, it just makes to much sense.

remember when Hashirama said that Juubito was stronger than him, yet Juubito lost to Naruto and Sasuke, yet Madara with only one eye managed to defeat Naruto and Sasuke with ease
