Who do you think wins though?
Hard one ...
I would have to say Danzo wins though mainly because of Izanagi. He underestimated Sasuke in their fight and lost too many Izanagi's before he got serious. He won't do the same with Jiraiya because he is incredibly well-known for his skill. However Danzo has shown that he wastes Izanagi(when he used it for a few shuriken). He could also get consumed by Mokuton if he runs low on chakra too.

I would still have to say that I think there are more chances of Danzo winning then Jiraiya winning.

This would be a very close fight and much closer than Kakashi VS Danzo. Jiraiya has the advantage when you look at it from an elemental perspective. Fire beats wind so Danzo's wind jutsus aren't going to be as effective as they could be. Danzo's cursed seal will also be ineffective since Jiraiya is not a CQC brawler. Baku, Danzo's trump card, while very powerful, can be easily fodderized by a katon or Yomi Nuri to sink it.

With most of Danzo's moveset countered by Jiraiya easily, I struggle to think of a way with which Danzo can win. Danzo's saving grace is sharingan precognition and 11 mintues of true immortality but Jiraiya can keep on making Danzo waste izanagi by hitting him with various jutsus along with all his toads. In other words, Danzo will get beat up pretty badly and end up wasting all of his eyes just to survive. Danzo could try to close the distance between them so that they will be more even but I think Jiraiya is faster especially with sage mode. Also like you said, Jiraiya can use his hair to defend himself from wind bullets, weapons and if Danzo gets close, he will be pushed back by Jiraiya's hair.

Still Danzo can hold his own against Jiraiya and may push him to the edge. If Jiraiya decides to use the frog song, it is easily countered by using wind jutsu to distort the sound waves. Danzo and Temari are the very few ninjas in the Narutoverse that have a legit counter to sound based genjutsu. Izanagi should work in dispelling genjutsu too but Danzo need not waste it on the frog song. Also Danzo can easily hold his own if not disable some of the frog summons with his powerful wind attacks. Still that would prove to be hard if Jiraiya uses all of his toads at once if he also decides to use his own set of attacks along with Ma and Pa's.

Once Danzo has used up all his izanagi, he could force Jiraiya to draw with him by using his reverse tetragram seal but I think Jiraiya can reverse summon himself in time in order to avoid it.

I say Jiraiya wins with mid-high difficulty. After reading Naruto VS Gaara where I saw a small fraction of Jiraiya's power, I now acknowledge him to have some of the best fire power in the manga.

If Danzo makes use of his first Izanagi surprise attack this could get ugly for Jiraiya. However if he fails to kill Jiraiya during that time, things can turn around. Since Danzo can seemingly respawn a certain distance after his "death", it gives him a lot of chances to either surprise the enemy or put him in a good situation. Luckily Jiraiya has his barrier, so he should be able to detect where he is beforehand even if it's in his blind spot. Jiraiya seems to have a lot of endurance on his side, so it's a good counter for Danzo's Izanagi spam. This along with his tactics would probably give him the win for me if KA is restircted.

Preliterate post; so I'll argue for Danzō.

Contingencies:
Having been the student of friend turned rival Hiruzen Sarutobi and potential candidate for Hokage, it is likely that Danzō possessed knowledge of Jiraiya's ground techniques (i.e. Rasengan, Summons etc.); his reputation further alludes to said probability. Shikaku Nara knowledge on Sage’s techniques, so Danzō, being an elder of the village, may have seemingly carried familiarity these techniques as well. Clearly Danzō, will not know what each technique entails, but he can expect the capability of what this form holds at the minimum.

It is probable that Jiraiya is not aware of the recent abilities that Danzō is endowed with, but upon seeing them he will acutely distinguish these prime features. Moreover; the older techniques of Danzō should be relatively unknown, for he was cautious mysterious person, but likely that once so, Jiraiya would identify it. However; Jiraiya is ignorant to dangerous weapon .


Fabrications:
As expected from a kinjutsu, Izanagi is a dangerous technique to both wielder and recipient. Danzō has slightly ascended these dangers, through experiments with Orochimaru that permit him to exercise the technique more efficiently. This ability deceived a genius Sasuke into believing that he was dead by the weight of Susano-o. If not for the activation of Susano-o at this time Sasuke would have potential killed, for it Danzō had position himself him which would have created an opening for a Fūton technique. Ironically enough, even with heightened senses in Sage mode, Jiraiya failed to recognize the Asura Path’s behind him, which ultimately caused his death. Though considered a low probability, the liable of such attack is credible. In short, Izanagi in itself is a promising technique, but when coupled with others its dangers sententious increases.

Gatherings:
Jiraiya’s summoning’s stable for his fighting style; he makes practical use of them whether for defending, attacking, or subjugating. Though challenging, that are not particularly difficult enough to handle, for a multitude of reasons, the principal one being permanence. Danzō can exercise several options to rid himself of this problem; the first being a fūton technique such as or a to restrict their movements.


Aptitude:
Utilizing Senūjtsu undoubtedly heightens Jiraiya’s balances of victory; however Danzō’s abilities correctly enable him to subjugate such a form. Primary all abilities in Jiraiya’s form come with a price, as his form is imperfect. Ma and Pa’s joined techniques can be dissuaded by , a fūton technique. Moreover; majority of Jiraiya’s senūjtsu techniques can be neglected by and .

So if Danzo loses his best ability, the very ability that puts him in top 10-15 discussions (other than Izanagi), he loses... if you've got to gimp one character, it bodes badly for Jiraiya's actual chances... if Jiraiya starts in Sage mode he'd have a chance against Koto Danzo, because his two partner frogs can will be linked to him, probably sense the disturbance in his chakra (esp via Sage mode), and break him out of it. This fight is a bit unbalanced though, Jiraiya just needs to stall for time and then wins.
