In the manga, when Kabuto approached Tobi to work together during the ninja war, he said he wanted Sasuke as tribute for helping Tobi after the war is over. Also, somewhere in the manga (not sure which chapter) Tobi said (or Kabuto asked for) he'd give Kabuto a white Zetsu clone (I think as a reward for capturing Naruto).
Moving forward a little..
Before Madara was revived, we didn't know that the Rinnegan evolved from the MS and we also didn't know that Kabuto had infused Madara's body with Senju DNA. Both of these occurrences lead me to believe that Orochimaru may have originally planned on infusing Sasuke's body with Senju DNA either before or after the Living Corpse Reincarnation. It's more than likely that Orochimaru would have idolized Madara, since he's the Uchiha's poster boy. Also, We know that Orochimaru had experimented with the DNA on Yamato and Danzo prior to Sasuke even being born, and the results weren't perfect, therefore leading me to believe that he wanted to further his research to find a perfect way to apply the DNA (White Zetsu).
Back to Kabuto...
So once Kabuto captured Anko, he knew that he had the capacity to revive Orochimaru. Seeing the Kabuto flashbacks, we know that he had made it his purpose to serve Orochimaru for eternity. What better way to serve him than to provide the White Zetsu clone and Sasuke?! Possibly Kabuto saw the regenerative properties of the clone and believed that it would solve the issue of Orochimaru's bodies rotting after a few years?
Anyways, these are just my thoughts laid out in a messy manner. Feel free to comment, critique, or troll.
