Well, first and foremost this fight would be a battle of data. Who can adapt better to each others fighting style ? Ok, that's nothing uncommon but especially important when talking about this two fellas. Both of them try to collect any possible information they can get of the individuals they see as a threat. They know each other for quite a while now and I couldn't believe that they haven't done there researches. So, probably their major tricks like using a fake Gigai or poisening the enemy aswell as their Shikais wouldn't work so well. The crux might be their Bankais (oh, really ? xD) and how much they know about each others: I would assume that Uraharas Bankai is mightier than Kurotsuchi's original one because it can restructure anything in an unknown set of possibilties which maybe would counter the venom of Konjiki Ashizogi Jizo. In short, it is flexible as hell. But it has one weakness: Its range is limited. Of course, Urahara could use the ability of his fancy red princess to enhance his speed and strenght in order to close the gap but it could cost him precious seconds if Kurotsuchi understands that quickly and focuses on the distance. He would still have his hard time and Urahara might even have some special Kido he has invented maybe only for this possible situation and is definitely the better swordsman since Mayuri barely uses his Zanpakuto as a sword. His chance to stand his ground would be Matai Fukuin Shōtai: If he finds a way to make himself immune to Kannonbiraki Benihime Atarame or even nullify its abilitys than he would have a chance because maybe this would make some of his tricks like the loop poison he used on Hitsugaya usable again. To sum it up, Uraharas advantages are his superior fighting skills, his Bankai and his great Kido knowledge. Especially in an early phase of the fight this could be a serious problem for Kurotsuchi. But as the fight continues, he might get enough data to modify his Bankai properly before Urahara can overwhelm him. I wouldn't say that the fight would be over - at this point it could depend more on who is prepared better and uses his gadgets more efficiently which is hard to answer when it comes to this guys. (But I don't think that this fight would be part of Aizens Keikaku anyway xD)
