See I'm not so sure on that either. Remember what Madara said, both the Sage's and Hashirama's method has failed. They thought that love was the way but even so, Hashirama could not provide peace even after getting rid of what seemed to be his greatest threat. If this was before Sasuke talked to Hashirama then I would agree with you but Sasuke's character has changed since then. He's no longer a person filled with hate so it wouldn't symbolize hate > love if he won.
While the parallel b/t Indra and Sasuke does it exist, IMO, it only applies to the aspect of how Naruto used to be a dunce while Sasuke was a genius. Sasuke used to believe that he could do everything on his own with his own power but we see him completely cooperating with Naruto and Jugo to solve the problem at hand. Even in Sasuke's dying words, he feels that he must live in order to show the world what a real Kage is, so that he can rectify the mistakes of the past Hokages and not let his brother's sacrifice be in vain. He wishes to become Hokage so that he can change the village for the better.
Sasuke no longer represents just hate, he's grown to be more than that so the theme of love > hate doesn't really fit anymore and love has been shown to fail to unite the world as well. Naruto and Sasuke will join forces to stop the cycle of hatred, it won't be one over the other to stop it. Not to mention that Ashura and Indra seemed to end in a draw so the parallel doesn't fit here for their battle anyway.
kami has such away with words ^^ amazing
