Orochimaru was totally owning Sarutobi until he used the Death God Jutsu. But I don't think that jutsu says anything about power and skill. The Fourth beat Kyuubi with it, that doesn't mean he is as powerful as Kyuubi. If Lee would open all eight Gates and manage to beat Gai, that wouldn't mean Lee is stronger than Gai.
Real Life example: If I were to fight the hundred best martial artists in the world, and when the fight begins, blow up everyone (including myself) with a bomb, that doesn't mean I'm equal in power to them.
Therefore, even if Orochimaru got hurt quite a lot by fighting Sarutobi, he outclassed him.
Until a counter to Edo Tensei is shown in anime or manga, I think the outcome would be a draw. The only way Sarutobi could defeat the first and second Hokage was the jutsu which killed himself, even if he is stronger than them, he wouldn't be able to kill them, slowly wearing him out, till he dies.
In any case ... the outcome really depends on the details of Edo Tensei.
