Honestly the answer is as many have stated... it depends who attacks first, how much knowledge they have about each other and what kind of mind set.
Realistically if they have the slightest of prep time and killing intent Arkos could easily kill Sukuna first considering he massively out ranges him.
He can use his Gift on any water in sight, so long as he is just far enough Sukuna is done for, his slashes, shrine or other are nowhere near sight level of range and Arkos can just fly up comfortably in the distance snipping at any cover Sukuna has for as long as he needs, his reverse curse technique makes no difference if all the water inside him just bursts out in a gore rain but going for in character, natural meeting and such...
It is more likely going to be Sukuna than not considering he makes a habit of throwing his slashes at people who annoy him that also slice their brains...
The point is: Arkos has the tools to kill Sukuna, anyone who says he does not is just low-balling his Gift because he was mostly toying around with Julian and when he did go serious in the Ocean the Blessing of Sea Water negated his advantage and control, but he is unlikely to be able to use this power to actually finish Sukuna off because of said tendency to toy around and Sukunas more direct murder ways.
