I'm pretty sure Kabuto said the two of them were about the same level when he was talking to Kimimaro... I can't remember exactly what he said though.
He only said that they both had seals and that they both had advanced bloodlines so he wasn't sure who was stronger.
Yes, he said "I wonder who is stronger, you or him" suggesting they're both roughly on the same level right now. Well, Kimi's dead and Sasuke's arm is broken, but you get what I mean.
Suggested to you maybe. He was comparing them on advantages they have of becoming a "vessel" and just because Kabuto isn't sure who is stronger doesn't make them equal. Kimi has the better bloodline. Sasuke may have the sharingan but it's only good for copying moves unless you have mangekyou and when was the last time Sasuke copied moves? He's only ever copied Lee's taijitsu moves. Not to mention Kimi would have killed Gaara if it wasn't for his disease that killed him at the last second which is closer than Sasuke ever got. Including the fact Naruto was doing a lot better at fighting Sasuke than he did at fighting Kimimaro. Also if you count the fact that Kimimaro was Orochimaru's #1 choice, I think it's pretty clear that Kimimaro was stronger than Sasuke is at the current point in the manga although technically it is impossible to tell unless they fought.
