Gandalf is literally a divine being. He would wipe the floor with Dumbledore.

[Mega Ultra Chicken]

Even if Gandalf died, he would come back as Gandalf the White

[Thadeus]

Dumbledore. He can actually cast magic, and not just pretend he can, like Gandalf does.

[Hobbit XIII]

Dumbledore because JK Rowling will just invent a spell to help him win.
Gandalf because he will just be given a super fast lore breaking horse that no matter how hard you write it stills breaks the logic of the land.
So Gandalf could just run away and invent a spell to counter whatever JK Rowling invented in that moment.

Which means it could be a stalemate going on a forever war that will get Trump more votes complaining about it.

The battle between the Balrog and Gandalf

"...Those that looked up from afar thought that the mountain was crowned with storm. Thunder they heard, and lightning, they said, smote upon Celebdil, and leaped back broken into tongues of fire."

“A great smoke rose about us, vapour and steam. Ice fell like rain. I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin. Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell.”

It is very rare that Gandalf full on releases his power and is not often seen. He is supposed to be a guiding hand not a bludgeon, but the aftermath of Gandalf’s fight with the riders on weathertop was also impressive. Flashing light was visible from miles out and the tower was scorched from flame.

Dumbledore was more fun. He made jokes, laughed.

That wouldn't help in a fight, but it makes me root for him.

Gandalf wields far more power, he has intentionally limited himself though. And no that is not a crutch to lean on, that is the actual lore. There are a handful of occasions where he lets loose, each time when he is out of sight, and each time it is like a force of nature. A storm being the most apt comparison.

So he intentionally holds himself back and allows innocent people to die instead.

You miss the point of the story entirely. He serves as a guide to the people of middle earth, though powerful he will not over ride their willpower and judgement nor nullify their courage and sacrifice.

A greater outcome comes from his restraint and guidance rather than being used as a tank on the battlefield.

I'd agree with evangalway2666. You'd probably have to read the books to understand Gandalf isn't like a regular wizard.
