It looks like Beerus has an advantage in raw power and speed here. He could go hard and quick to end the fight.

Feeling Strange here

[Mercenaryblade]

While Beerus has impressive powers I can see Strange trick him into speedblitzing into a portal. 

[Macklemore]

Beerus's best attack (Hakai) would be rendered Null by Strange, due to the fact that Strange can deal well with being erased from reality (or at the very least, reconstitute himself in a different universe to the point where him being erased in the previous reality amounted to nothing). On top of that, Doctor Strange has autoshields which should deal with Beerus if he ever decides to spam Ki blasts, and is pretty good when it comes to fighting if things go south and they decide to fight it out in ye olde fisticuffs fashion. Beerus still has an undeniable physical and speed advantage, but I don't think it will matter that much as Strange just has far too many ways to beat him that he's accumulated all over the years.

While Strange us able to reconstruct his physical being, is he able to do the same with his soul? Because Hakai erases everything including the targets soul from existence.

 

I'm leaning toward Beerus for that reason, but I'll wait for a response.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't appear Strange was "erased from reality" so much as he was blasted into another plane outside of reality with no physical space. That's an important difference, and one that the page that you linked and Strange himself seems to imply. "It is taking all my power to reconstitute our physical forms in a place outside the physical" is a very different sentence than "I am recreating my essence from nothing," because it implies that while his physical body was destroyed/transported, some other element of him exists. With Hakai, it's stated to just destroy your body and soul from existence, something which Strange doesn't appear to have a defense against

[C.T.]

While I don’t know if Beerus would necessarily resort to Hakai immediately, and Strange could pull a win before that comes into play, I feel like this is sort of like that?

[SSJRuss]

Think I like the argument for Strange. If nothing else, he's much smarter than Beerus and he could easily fool him into a magical trap of some kind.
