Jiraiya wins. Hashirama's Wood Style in Part 1 really wasn't that impressive. Old Hiruzen took on Orochimaru, Tobirama, and Hashirama at the same time and managed to take down Hashirama and Tobirama and take down Oro's arms. He probably would have beaten Orochimaru or at least drawn against him if Oro didn't have Edo Tensei prep time. Jiraiya in Part 1 still had the toad summons and toad mouth. Toad summons in Part 1 were op considering Gamabunta was capable of going head to head with Shukaku. Jiraiya also, even without Sage Mode, is a good sensory type with the sensory barrier. He also has the toad mouth which allows him to be aware of everything going around him. He was even able to tell Itachi and Kisame had escaped before he even saw them, so this can allow him to counter Bringer of Darkness. I'm just not sure if he can seal Hashirama away, but he probably does have some sort of sealing to do it.
