Genjutsu, still no counter to it. Thus, Itachi solos forever and always.
Plus, there really is no evidence that Minato can use a perfect sage mode while alive because the edo tensei body after all gets rid of physical limitations.
Then it's going to be Tsukuyomi to the face. Itachi would win under those circumstances, however, Minato would win a full knowledge fight IMO, which is why I hold him in higher regard. Owarij's got this.
First of all, we got once again another confirmation that Minato sense all the time since he was able to compare Madara's chakra to Obito's while becoming Jubi's Jinchuriki

Sensors are capable to sense chakra build up inside bodies

So it would be easy for Minato know each time Itachi would try to build up chakra for either tsukuyomi or Amaterasu before the release just like Obito on the above picture, just like Nagato [

With his superior speed it would be childs play for him to escape either attacks when a slower and non-sensor opponent managed to

Sasuke on the above picture couldn't even follow Raikage with the eyes and he is someone known to possess even better eyes than Itachi
Because of the above mention then, it would be hard for him to keep track. Susanoo would from then on be his only option
On the other side, Minato could simply decide to surround Itachi with his marked kunais

The moment Itachi stops his Susanoo for some reasons(either avoiding chakra cost, being out of chakra or so on), he would be blitzed in this situation [

We also have the confirmation Minato is a sage mode user, which means he trained with toads in the Sage mode mastery
Pa already confirmed knowing Minato even [

In Sage Mode, it's basically no different than if Minato had eyes. We've seen Naruto could draw battlefields with sensing alone

Minato can also decide to summon them and finish Itachi with their sound based jutsus
Sasuke made us understand

because of sound vibration. Well, Pa and Ma have

Reason why i believe Itachi stands no chance
I'll probably edit some more later, but this opening is already good enough for me. I rustled a bit because i'm going off-line soon
Edit: Also, unlike Kabuto's sage mode, toad sage mode increase their strength enormously to the point they can lift large summons as if it was nothing

With this kind of strength, SM Minato would easily dispatch Itachi's Susanoo
How are Ma and Pa cosidered? They require a special ritual to summon them, at least that's what we've witnessed. Don't you think Naruto would've summoned them himself at some point
