NarutoX28 said what needed to be said. The fighters are dead equal.
1 mistake from either of these 2 means the other wins. But since people like to lean towards Kisame more by a landslide then its good to address this:
1. Samehada has always shown to absorb chakra based with its limited hitbox range. And volume.
2. Samehada absorption speed vary based on its liking of taste.
Factor those in against Kakuzu's ninjutsu and we will have a speculative battle on how much Samehada can consume, its high volume at a time.
Then you have the fact that both of these characters have high level and high scale of element ninjutsu. One can argue that the environment Kakuzu was able to engulf, was bigger then Kisame was able to produce with Suiton. But thats dismissing deductive reasoning to say that both scaling of jutsu dont rival each other.
That being said:
Kisame Suiton facing Kakuzu's ninjutsu is simple:
Suiton vs Futon = Suiton reduces and softens the attack power (IMO)
Suiton vs Katon = Suiton>Katon obviously
Suiton vs Raiton = Suiton blocks Raiton penetrated power but converts it electrical conductor.
Suiton vs Doton = Doton obviously tanks.
Kakuzu excellent in nature manipulation means he can take out any Suiton Kisame has to offer (bar Great Shark), based on canon that Suiton is not enough to take off combo Futon+Katon.
So literally any Suiton attempting to be produce here will have to encounter Zukokku (powered by Futon). Add the fact that Samehada struggle to taking in Katon as its liking means the only factor jutsu Kisame has here is Great Shark.
So by far the match up isnt anywhere near a landslide. If we want to know the exact stronger of the 2, then yes it would be Kisame based on his movesets, capable of fighting stronger level opponents. Nothing more nothing less
