Susano'o would likely be enough to defeat Sandaime after an extended battle. Madara's Magatama nearly penetrated Gaara's and Oonoki's combined defensive barriers, which were a lot bigger than his Susano'o. Its chakra whips were also able to lash through the barriers completely (though the Magatama probably weakened them, it's still rather impressive).

Sandaime's Nukite would likely damage Susano'o, but I don't see him getting all the way through before it bats him away. Madara's also more than capable of dodging.

On top of that, Madara's got some decent Genjutsu skill. I'm not sure how well Sandaime would be able to resist that, or even if he could. Granted, he doesn't have very many feats at the moment, but what he did show was the ability to react to high-speed attacks. Even when preoccupied by Mei's lava, he still noticed Raikage charging at him, and successfully parried the blow.

That is important, and is one of the factors that secures his victory here. Furthermore, his Yasaka's Magatama, which completely drilled through Gaara's sand defense (and almost penetrated Onoki's golem as well), provides a useful offensive attack. Join that with Madara's impressive reflexes, base genjutsu, and ability to rest inside Susanoo, and his victory is almost guaranteed here.

Madara only has five techniques, but the Raikage has even less. Contrary to popular opinion, speed isn't everything. That's why our Uchiha wins.
