Sometimes it's hard to assess Kakashi when he only uses Lightning cutter and Kamui. Part 1 Kakashi takes away that Kamui.

Gaara's strength was that of a jonin at the point and yet struggled horribly against Rock Lee and Sasuke's speed. So in terms of speed Kakashi can raikiri Gaara to death.

Now Gaara using Shukaku's chakra is slightly different as in, Kakashi's screwed against a tailed beast without Kamui.

So overall, Kakashi can kill Gaara (therefore his win) before he uses the Shukaku's chakra but if Gaara turns full tailed beast it's Gaara's win.
