Shouldn't Sage mode technically beat out kurama mode since Sage mode harnesses the power of nature whereas kurama mode harnesses the power of kurama? Sage mode has no limits since it draws energy from all sources, not just one person, or even just from life. It's just that it takes time to enter sage mode and more time to gather energy from external sources than it does from yourself (or your bijuu).
Though I guess Kurama seems to have an affinity for senjutsu himself, too. (Though this may be Naruto acting through kurama).
Bijū chakra is pretty potent and Kurama is a beast even amongst the bijū so I suppose it depends on the user. Naruto is the only jinchūriki to have mastered Sage Mode and actually be good at it. Both modes seem to have their trade-offs.
Kurama can collect natural energy. I'm assuming bijū chakra is similar since the bijū were all originally part of the Jūbi.
