Gaara wins only if he Summons Shukaku, which he can do much faster by just using Playing Possum Technique. If he doesn't rely on Shukaku, Jugo might win since Sand Coffin and Burial were Gaara's only jutsu at that point in time, when normal.

Jugo might get through the Sand Shield with his Chakra Canon enhanced strength attack (I Think). As a Genin, Gaara loses undoubtedly but he was also a Jinchuriki, which was always his stregth to begin with...so Gaara ultimately wins if we match them up at their most powerful form.
