Ten-Tails' jinchūriki Obito versus Edo Madara empowered with Hashirama's Sage Mode? That would've been one hell of a fight.

But I don't see Madara extracting the tailed beasts from his opponent since he didn't gain their chakras like Naruto. Madara's only way to win would've been by weakening him enough so that Black Zetsu could force him to revive Madara.

Remember that as an Edo, Madara wasn't as strong as when he got Rinne Tensei'd: due to not having true Rinnegan eyes, he probably couldn't even use Limbo, and even if he did, Obito would've had the means to see and sense the invisible clone (left Rinnegan and Six Paths Senjutsu's sensing skills).

Ninjutsu-wise, Obito's Truth-Seeking Balls would be pretty hard for Madara to deal with. Even with senjutsu, he would need to use the Complete Body — Susanoo's swords to pierce through Obito's defenses. Naruto and Sasuke could do so only because Obito's resolve faltered in that very moment, otherwise I don't think he would've gotten slashed; and I'm pretty certain that Madara's senjutsu-empowered Susanoo Sword is about the same level as the one that pierced Obito (there wasn't only senjutsu there, but the Nine-Tails' chakra as well). The Six Paths Techniques… Maybe Obito would've actually used them against Madara. Seeing Obito's status as the Ten-Tails' host, his one true Rinnegan would seem to be at least as powerful as Edo Madara's two fake Rinnegan, though it's just speculation. Other jutsu, like Madara's Fire Release, would mean little to nothing, since Obito's Fire Release was pretty much at the same level. Madara's Wood Release comparable to Hashirama's would surely work, however Obito's manifestation of the God Tree is a good enough counterattack even for the Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands. Tailed Beast Balls… Madara's Susanoo was able to withstand the complete Nine-Tails' TBB explosion, but even if it was empowered by senjutsu I doubt it could survive that of one or more Ten-Tails' TBBs.

I would say 55% for Obito and 45% for Madara. About Naruto and Sasuke, I would've given them less than 20% chance of winning against TTJ Obito before gaining Hagoromo's power.
