If he received the DNA from Kabuto (and he had it diluted with others) that would mean that Sasuke could have some of the Taka members for instances, right? His technique for using other people's DNA grants him enough control to just give Sasuke Hashi cells.

With all the stuff he was controlling plus sage mode, i think he was pretty much at the limit he could endure, which is probably why he didn't also use Hashi's power. Alternatively, he may have still been figuring out how to use it when Sasuke and Itachi attacked. Either way it doesn't matter, i don't see why he wouldn't be carrying some at all times via Sakon and Ukon's KKG, in a big enough lump to use but a small enough lump that it doesn't cause massive side-effects like overpowering lifeforce (Danzo) or manifesting as wood release.

it struck me as weird though that he'd resort to Uzumaki cells when he had access to Hashirama cells.

But like i said, his entire reason for wanting Sasuke was to see if he could awaken the Rinnegan, which he hypothesized was done by joining Uchiha and Senju DNA. Why wouldn't he be carrying the treatment with him, considering that acquiring access to Sasuke was always going to be a highly opportunistic thing to begin with, and that he could easily do so with his Strange Transmission Distant Shadow?
