I am going to argue that Sasori is able to take on Sasuke in his MS prime (via vs Danzo). This thread by no means shows that Sasori is tiers above/stronger then Sasuke. I have to address this due to a previous thread (Kakuzu>Killer Bee) where people get the misconception that my goal was to prove "this" character is stronger then "that" character.
The condition will be like this:
Location: Land of Iron Bridge
Intel: Manga
Distance: Sasuke vs Danzo
Condition: Sasori starts in Hiruko
Location: Land of Iron Bridge
Intel: Manga
Distance: Sasuke vs Danzo
Condition: Sasori starts in Hiruko
And now here's my argument:
Manga Knowledge
First thing first is to address Manga Knowledge. For Sasori's age and experience it should be in his knowledge to know about an "advance Sharingan". The scans I post will give clues that he should know on "off-screen time". The first scan I want to bring out is the evidence of him being a witness to the power of an Uchiha. Here:
With that said lets be reasonable to conclude that Sasori knows about "Advance Sharingan" due to the "new comer" of Akatsuki member knowing about it, Deidara.
Listen to his words carefully "for someone who uses doujutsu at Itachi's level." Deidara has compared Kamui level attack of Sharingan to Itachi's in this context.
So with this conclusion that a "new member" of Akasuki to have this knowledge on this but his "more experience" partner to not is not a fair conclusion to make.
With this conclusion, it is safe to say Sasori has knowledge on "Advance Sharingan". How does this help Sasori in this situation? I will underline it: With observation of facing Sasuke's "advance look of the Sharingan", he would be vigilant in this match up.Staying vigilant will help him and prepare to counter the OP jutsu the "Advance Sharingan comes with". Wither is "powerful" or "fast" Sasori will fight and use his arsenals differently then when he faced Sakura and Chiyo.

The Flaw Of Mangekyou Sharingan
This needs to be address ASAP. This what balances the outcome of Sasori's chances of winning:
The power of MS comes with a price at the end of the day.
Sasuke's jutsu cannot be spam if he over do it. Lets observed what Tobi had to say in a situation where he does:
In the same scan above it shows Sussanoo disappearing. Tobi words shows because of MS spam, a "cool-time" happens for the next time it can be used.
Unfortunate For Sasuke, Sasori he can outlast him all day due to his body structure.

The Question (Concerning Facing Hiruko)
So with everything said from here, how will this battle start? We know that Sasuke can lose by only obtaining one scratch from Sasori's attack or one whiff from poison gas (He doesn't know that).
How exactly will Sasuke deal with Hiruko? Keep in mind, using MS against him is the beginning of the "strain process". So lets say he attempts to finish off Hiruko without MS. It will be a risk for Sasuke to lose the fight in the beginning of the match by getting scratch.
The manga applies that Hiruko attacks are like solving a puzzle in a way to dodge them specifically.[
He also applied that you need blunt force to defeat and break this defense[
If Sasuke is not going to be using MS in this situation but rely on Raiton attacks to penetrate Hiruko it will only make Sasuke more vulnerable to Sasori's sebons and tail, because Sasori does not feel pain.[
Also the Sharingan has not been able to predict object as well as people. Because the mechanics are completely different: since the muscles have a certain delay to move, the Sharingan should see that and anticipate the movements accordingly; the problem is that what I just explained doesn't happen with a projectile/object, so I don't think the Sharingan will be useful vs. traps. Thus leaves Sasuke relying on his Speed to successfully dodge the traps.
In the end, it seems Sasuke has to rely on MS attacks to successfully own Hiruko. If not, thats his risk of getting scratch. If he does, the MS "straining process" begins here.
But lets say Sasuke uses Sussanoo arrow against Hiruko to finish this. Wouldn't that be gameover? Most likely not due to the location of the core. As long as Sasuke aims at the same spot he always aims at (center chest) Sasori can always break his body apart and let it reconstruct when the body is damaged.[

]The 3rd KazeKage Is the Way
This is where the real battle begins MS vs the 3rd Kazekage's power. At this point Sasuke has no choice but to use Sussanoo in this situation. Sasori being vigilant, and also after seeing how MS powers destroyed Hiruko, he would be prepared to counter.
Alot of people want to say Iron Sand is slow to gather up. That's not entirely true due to this scan:
"It is possible to use the repellent properites of magnetism..." The context was talking about Sand Drizzle but, that doesn't means the context can apply to any other shape of Iron Sand. Since Drizzle seem to Shape as bullets instantly (From page 10 to 11)[
Since this scan says Iron Sand Shape can be used beyond the users imagination:
(Basically shaping it fast is not the problem especially when Sasori will be vigilant in this match up)
This said Sasori has many methods to defend against the MS (
Enton/Amaterasu:
Sussanoo Arrow:
--Option B: Move to aerial combat with Sand platform. Reason? Lets take a look at Danzo's situation.
[
Offensive
Option A:
Using the Magnetic Force To Block Sussanoo Attack Methods: As we should know in the Manga, Satetsu is not suppose to be blocked, your suppose to dodge it.[
--Option B:
Using Iron Sand To Attack From Ground-Up:The old stages are Sussanoo is still vulnerable from the ground-up[
----Option C:
Using Magnetic Power Of Attraction: Due to the power of the 3rd Kazekage, all metallic objects are useless against Sasori. Having them in the field at the end of the day, can be used against you.[
P.S. People might come here and explain how is that even possible and I just want to say, the sword sheath of not, it doesn't block magnetic attraction.

-If you want to learn while entertaining yourself: Watch Breaking Bad Season 5, Episode 1. Magnets are involved in this episode. And you would get what I am saying in Option C.
--------Option D:
Waiting For Sussanoo To Expire:I already added the flaw of MS. Sasori can simply outlast the strain from MS moves. Eventually Sasuke needs to take a break to maintain like he has done twice so far vs Danzo
To end it.
At the end of the day I won't argue that Iron Sand has displayed its destructive force to damage Sussanoo, but instead show other methods to work around beating the user even with it.

Not true, if you notice that in the manga when a new jutsu is introduce it took its time to explain the jutsu force before it is use. A good example would be Kakuzu jutsu being introduce first and then his mask were release faster in Edo form. Thats because it is unimportant to explain it anymore.)Since this scan says Iron Sand Shape can be used beyond the users imagination:

The Worthy of 100 Puppet Army/Conclusion
I will quote an old post concerning this:
This was a debate against Hebi Sasuke that I used. It is the same premise I would use here but it will be more useful due to Sasori able to swap into another puppet if he gets hit by MS moves (due the 3rd Kazekage not being here in this situation)You must be registered for see images
I expect the person I am debating to use the "Sasuke knocking "1000" shinobi argument, but I expect you to believe it is irrelevant then Sasori using this to take down a whole country. With Sasori intelligence analyzing everything Sasuke is capable of, can use sheer numbers to take advantage.
These puppets can float and they move swiftly for themselves so from that conclusion shows that it won't be easy for Sasuke to dominate as he did with 1000 shinobi's here is a conclusion:
-There is no guarantee that a single slash of Sasuke's sword (assuming he even gets it back) can dispatch one puppet; he may use Chidorigatana to increase his lethality, with Sasori should already be familiar with now in battle
-1 scratch still spells death for Sasuke, and while he conceivably has some chance of getting through the first two steps unscathed, he will inevitably be overwhelmed by 100 opponents
-It stands to reason that as Sasuke dispatches more of Sasori's 100 puppets, Sasori's attention will be more focused on his remaining puppets. What this means is that Sasuke may at first find himself holding his own against the 100 puppets, only to be caught surprise by a sudden increase in their skill level due to Sasori's increasingly focused control.
I still expect for my opponent to underrate Sakura and Chiyo being successful.
-Chiyo saved Sakura from being overwhelm the 10 forbidden puppets played an important role to reduce from being overwhelm. Her seal also stop thee rest of the puppets from continue from being controlled.
-And even after all that after match they still managed to get scratched.
If Sasuke wants to try to Shishun Sasori/ getting close to him to finish him off. Sasori previous analyses would make this futile. He would either use the following attacks (If he tries to out run swift puppets that can float around and can move very fast themselves):

Thats all I have to say. Sasori has methods in his arsenal to take out MS and he also is able to outlast Sasuke due to the its Flaws of recovering.
