Who would win in a 1 vs. 1, in all of your opinions? Also explain why you chose the person you did, and what they have that can win vs. the other.

Base Hashirama is enough to rape Itachi, an explanation shouldn't be needed.

Well how will he counter Tsukuyomi then? An explanation would be lovely.

Not making eye contact is a good way to counter Tsukuyomi, Hashirama is a sensor, so keeping up with Itachi while not looking at his eyes shouldn't be a problem.

He only has sensing feats in SM.

What about other Genjutsu? Like the finger Genjutsu for example. Hashirama gets caught by that, Itachi can kneel down, look into his eyes and he's caught in Tsukuyomi.

He only has sensing feats in SM.

This as well. I doubt Itachi would just let him go into SM without a fight.

Manga .

Because Hashirama is gonna just stand there and let him use every single Genjutsu he has in his arsenal, right ? Regular Genjutsu can be countered with Moku Bunshin.

Hashirama can :

-Put him to sleep with Kajukai Kourin.

-Smash him with Mokujin.

-Absorb his Susano'o with Mokuryu.

Hashirama has shown to enter SM almost . He can also use clones to keep Itachi busy while he enters SM.

I never said he'd just stand there but all Itachi has to do is point at him and he's in a Genjutsu. I would say Hashirama > Itachi if he was always in SM, from the start to the end of a fight since then he could keep his eyes closed to counter Tsukuyomi for the entire fight but since he can't then one quick Genjutsu and Itachi has enough time to shunshin to Hashirama and Tsukuyomi him while he breaks out of the Genjutsu. Brute strength and Jutsu aren't always going to allow you to win a fight.

- Hashirama's plethora of Moktuon Bunshin will keep genjutsu attempts at a minimum
- Hashirama's attacks are bigger and have huge AoE
- Pollen puts Itachi to sleep even if he has a Susano'o

Hashirama mid diff at most.

In theory Itachi can create a Genjutsu before he can create clones, one point and it's done, though if he manages to create clones it would make it a lot harder to get close and Tsukuyomi him.

I disagree with the pollen putting him to sleep with Susano'o since he has the Yata Mirror which can cover the Susano'o from all sides and the Yata Mirror would cancel out the effects of the pollen, and Yata Mirror can make Hashirama's massive attacks useless for at least 5 minutes (around the time Itachi can keep Susano'o up).

Reasoning?

You can clearly see he sensed Kyuubi's/Minato's/Naruto's chakra in that scan :|

Or he clearly looked at all the red cloaks and deduced, like several other unnamed fodders did, that it was the Kyuubis chakra. :|

Or you can read the scan and notice that he knows that the volume of the chakra is comparable to his own, how would he know that without sensing again ? :|

He would not need to be a sensor to notice that Naruto has a large volume of chakra, enough to give all the alliance a cloak. :|
