It would be a devastating battle, no doubt. But in the end I think the second team's heavy hitters are more powerful than the first team's heavy hitters.

Even without Bijuu Mode Minato is hailed as a masterclass shinboi, and he also has Sage Mode. Hashirama is practically a war god, I mean, gracious... look at his battle with Kurama and Madara, he's on a different level. Kakashi is maybe the most versatile character in the series, having become advanced in nearly every aspect of the shinobi skillset, and you've also given him the Mangekyo Sharingan, so he has Kamui. And Naruto can enter Sage Mode/Bijuu Mode... simultaneously.

Not to say that the other side wouldn't put up a good fight... every shinobi of that team has a dojutsu that they're skilled with. But we've seen Kakashi defeat Obito in a one-on-one, Naruto defeat Nagato one-on-one, and I am confident in Minato and Hashirama's ability to overcome Itachi and Sasuke. The winner goes to team two.
