DarkLordZeta summarized it nicely.

My two cents:

Hidan is melee only, while Zabuza has the option for long range with some pretty strong techniques. Hidans almost complete lack of strategic sense doesn't exactly improve his chances. While their physical prowess may be equal, ultimately it's Zabuzas skillset that will win the day.

Even if Hidan should manage to obtain blood and initiate his ritual, his idiotic prioriticing on máiming rather that killing, automatically leaves him vulnerable to long range attacks, and Zabuza has proven durable enough to resist his own techniques, so I don't really think there's that big a competition here. Sorry for the semi-rant
