This will create a long debate. However, it is mentioned multiple times
throughout the series that they have **equal strength**. Naruto knows this by
exchanging fists with Sasuke, he specifically tells that to Sasuke in the
Shippuden episode (spoiler alert!):

> Where Sasuke kills Danzo, and then goes after Kakashi by almost killing
> Sakura

In the end of the series, Kishimoto gives an answer to this:

> Naruto and Sasuke have an all-out fight to death because Sasuke believes in
> order to protect the world from evil, he has to cut all emotional ties. And,
> quote Sasuke, "[Naruto] you are my only friend". This battle ends with both
> of them losing an arm, and heavily bleeding until Sakura saves them.

It is implied that they both have equal strength.
