If the writer is involved such as writing it, stating it, or supervising it, it's canon.

Let's just compare them in every regard.

Ninjutsu

Itachi- About 16 total. Strongest Offense: Susanoo. Strongest Defense: Susanoo.

Obito- Over 16. Strongest Offense: Rinnegan. Wood Release. Defense: Kamui.

Edge for Offense: Obito has wider range of Ninjutsu, and was stated to even learn jutsu from Madara. With Rinnegan, his offensive Ninjutsu greatly exceeds what Susanoo can do. He basically has a village nuke with him at all times. Without it, Susanoo beats him in damage. I give Obito the edge in Offensive Ninjutsu with Rinnegan. Itachi without Rinnegan.

Edge for Defense: Itachi has armored Susanoo equipped with Yata Mirror. He's pretty much impervious to Ninjutsu while within it. But as Gaara shown, the user can be removed from it and things can enter within. As Sasuke shown, the Susanoo can be destroyed by something as strong as Kirin. Obito has Kamui. Able to teleport or go intangible and phase through attacks. However, as Konan shown, there's a limit. He has to solidify every five minutes and he can't use kamui if it's already active. Seeing as how Kirin was able to hit Itachi hard enough to make his Susanoo disappear and it's damage is only the size of the Uchiha Hideout, Preta Path's Push can exceed that on larger levels. Itachi however, doesn't have a Ninjutsu to really counter Kamui, and has to wait until it is finished. So for defense I give Obito the edge.

Genjutsu

Itachi- About 6 total. Best: Tsukuyomi.

Obito- About 2. Best: Sharingan: Genjutsu

Itachi's greatest feat canon: Tsukuyomi on Kakashi and broke his mind. In almost an instant, Kakashi lived out 3 days of torture.

Obito's: Controlled multiple Tailed Beasts at once. Controlled a perfect Jinchuriki which Itachi was not capable of doing.

Edge: I'll put this as a stalemate. Obito's feats are more impressive, but Tsukuyomi is obviously greater. Itachi also has more Genjutsus.

Fighting with tools and hand to hand

Edge: It's a stalemate. Both fought evenly with Kakashi and KCM Naruto. Though it can be argued that KCM Naruto wasn't trying against Itachi, and was trying to converse. If you consider that to be true, edge goes to Obito.

Strength

Itachi: His best physical strength feat is the one where he kicked Sasuke into the wall and breaking it, not entirely though.

Obito: The one where he broke the giant stone wall that kept him trapped. That was when he was still young though. I don't know anything that beats that.

Edge: Obito has the edge in physical strength. The rock he broke was quite larger than the rock wall Itachi kind of broke.

Speed

Itachi: Again, if you count Naruto's fight, then he is as physically as fast as him. If you do not, he's shown to be faster than Kakashi and Sasuke.

Obito: He kept up with Naruto, Gai, and Kakashi.

Edge: Obito has the edge if you believe Naruto's fight doesn't count against Itachi.

Stamina

Edge: Not even necessary. Obito has the edge here for obvious reasons. Except against Edo Itachi for obvious reasons.

Durability

Itachi: I mean. All I can find right now, is him tanking a hit from Sasuke's technique. Nothing really else hit him on that level.

Obito: Got headbutted multiple times by KCM Naruto. Got stabbed in the heart by Lightning infused Kunai and survived. Tanked a Rasengan from Minato and survived. Tanked one from Naruto. Tanked another one from Naruto to the face. Took multiple explosions and survived with only his arm missing.

Edge: Obito. Has better feats. Edo-version Itachi however, has the edge for obvious reasons.

Intelligence

Edge: Obito. The reason being is both tried outsmarting the other, and Obito came out on top. Itachi made it so that should Sasuke meet Obito, Obito would be caught in flames. However, Obito stated he suspected something like this and ensured a fail-safe. Thus in the end, he outsmarted Itachi.

In fight 1 A. Could go either way. Obito is superior to Itachi in almost every regard. Although Itachi is immortal, Obito has access to Chakra Receivers which have shown to immobilize even edo's. Once immobilized, nothing stops him from ripping the soul from Itachi. However, getting to that point is a different story. Itachi won't be physically harming Obito even with Totsuka since Obito can phase through it. However, Genjutsu is his answer. Tsukuyomi or Izanami to be exact. Izanami will probably work on Obito if he's still struggling with his identity issue. However, it will be extremely tough for both to get to that position to win. Itachi has lots of defenses Obito must bypass. While Itachi will have to somehow get Obito to look into his eyes, and since they retain knowledge on each other, it will be extremely hard to do.

Fight 1 B. Anyone loses to Koto. Not even a debate. Itachi wins.

Fight 2. Obito. Now Itachi has nothing over Obito really except Ninjutsu. But Kamui pretty much saves him from everything. He can literally just Kamui him into Kamui and let him starve to death. There are plenty of ways he can go about this, which Itachi will be unable to stop, unless he can get Obito to look into his eyes, which again; will be an extremely difficult process.
