That's why the question is too broad. We need to think hypothetically. Let's say this Sage User is an above average level shinobi proficient in and capable of an A-Rank ninjutsu while the EMS user is an emotionally stable shinobi of the same skill level. Presuming both have considerable chakra reserves, Sage Mode still takes the W, at least for me.

Let's see it this way. (Pain - Kage Summit Arc) Base Naruto would have been killed by Base Sasuke (assume emotional stability and no talk-no-jutsu), without the use of the sharingan, in a matter of seconds. Sage Mode Naruto though, had the upper hand during his five-minute stint against Pain, who would have killed Imperfect Susanoo Sasuke without moving an inch.
