In base forms, all things considered Sasuke would floor Naruto. And when I say base I mean Naruto just standing there with no Sage Mode or Tailed Beasts, and Sasuke just standing there, with no Sharingan, cursed seals or anything of the sort. Just two dudes hitting each other and using basic ninja stuff, mainly because Sasuke can actually do more at base than Shadow Clone spam + Rasengan.

Once you start piling on their special abilities and forms however, logically speaking Sasuke will get rektd. Mainly because of how stupid Six Paths Sage Mode is and even if it wasn't that stupid, regular Sage Mode on it's own should in theory give Naruto the edge (Sasuke can dodge a punch, but he's still getting hit by the air around the punch, ect). The biggest thing Sasuke has going for him is Susanoo, and Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode(s) can already size that up, and lord help Sasuke if Naruto figures out that whole Yin-Yang jutsu nullifying BS.

Now of course, this is Kishimoto who no doubt can and most likely will pull something out of his butt to put them on equal footing. But basing their performance against Kaguya (where Naruto was the only one who could actually go blow for blow with her), it is Naruto's battle to win.
