Tobirama would fairly easily defeat Jiraiya. Having to fend off Tobirama while trying to enter Sage Mode is just too big a downside against a man with high speed and teleport.

The Three Sannin would win though, because their combined power and synergy is just too strong. Tsunade can keep them fighting far beyond their limit. Their summons can rain destruction on Tobirama to force him into position to make his FTG nigh-useless.

More than that, Jiraiya can get all the time he needs to setup his Sage Mode. Orochimaru and Tsunade both are notoriously hard to injure. Together they win.

There is more than one way to distract Tobirama, while Jiraiya enters SM.He could summon a Toad like he did with Pain to keep him busy. Or he could use Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind, and unlike Itachi, it would be pretty hard if not impossible for Tobirama to escape. Also, in order to teleport to Jiraiya, he would have to mark him first, which would be pretty hard to do, especially since Jiraiya knows about how hiraishin works. Also, there was a thread not to long ago about Jiraiya vs Tobirama, and there were good arguments on both sides. So it would be a close match-up. Adding the other 2 Sannin means clear death for Tobirama.
