Sentry's more ruthless but Surfer is more powerful, versatile and has all the abilities necessary to neutralise any Sentry attack.
PIS free, Surfer wins this with either a mental attack to knock out Sentry or illusions and phasing to wear him out.
Sentry has no means of attacking Surfer that Surfer cannot counter creatively (and Surfer does use his powers creatively).

Yep, CIS-free would be more accurate.
The Phasing and Illusions aren't so much to counter Sentry's matter-manip, as to wear him out by giving him targets to chase/lunge at and blast.
Surfer's own matter manipulation powers should be more than sufficient to counter Sentry's matter manip attacks.
Surfer has used planet-wide illusions and blasts in tandem before, iirc. I think he did something not too long ago where he created a Galactus illusion and blasted some ships to stall/buy time for something or other.
