Kakashi is my favorite character, but I think Jiraiya would take this.

Kakashi is probably one of the most versatile characters in the series. But JIraiya is up there too.

Kakashi probably is probably better and faster at analyzing an opponent and making a really good strategy to take them out.

Jiraiya has enough chakra and defensive capabilities to truck most of his attacks, and he'd probably be fast and smart enough to avoid a lot of his attacks in the first place.

I think one of Kakashi's most notable achievements with higher level opponents is sneaking up on and stabbing Kakuzu with Raikiri. If even Kakuzu, an extremely seasoned veteren, couldn't sense him coming, who knows if Jiraiya could? Even though Jiraiya has sage mode, I doubt he'd pull it out immediately.

If we took out summons for the both of them, Kakashi has a much better chance at this. After all, without summoning, Jiraiya can't use sage mode.

Based on the criteria of the battle though, I say Jiraiya with high level difficulty
