I've considered Gai stronger ever since he showed off Hirudora. Kakashi had no legitimate defence for that when it was shown, and he had no defence until he acquired Susanoo, which is likely temporary, and even with it, and I hate saying this, Eight Gates Guy still stomps him. He dies afterwards, but he wins as much as one can win using a murder-suicide tactic.
