Gaara wins mid-diff. Defeating Sasori isn't the most complicated thing in the world. It's as easy as clogging his puppet's joints with sand and making them (and him) hard to move, at the very least, and completely disabled at best. Even Sasori himself is susceptible to this weakness, and putting them in a battlefield of sand, 30 meters of sand to work with and manipulate to his whim, gives Gaara an almost insurmountable advantage.
Assuming Gaara, for some reason, allows Sasori enough time and space to use his puppets, they would give him trouble. Iron Sand trumps regular sand, but the Kazekage would definitely need prep time to create enough Iron Sand to contest a ready 30 meters of ammunition for Gaara. Too much prep time.
Hundred Puppet Army is Gaara's toughest challenge, but it's a surmountable one. If Sakura and Chiyo could beat it, I don't doubt that Gaara could, as well.
And then, all that's left is Sasori. While Sasori's a versatile and dangerous fighter, Gaara has no reason to get close enough to him to risk getting stabbed, burned, or poisoned. He's got a whole battlefield to use to his advantage, keep Sasori on the defensive, and eventually overwhelm him.
Any other environment, and Sasori might have a chance. But fighting Gaara on a battlefield of sand is just an all-around bad idea in most cases. There's a reason Sasori let Deidara go in alone to capture Gaara at the start of Shippuden.
