Really depends on how many Type 1 Shells Yamato actually had.

Up close Iowa's shells would have had a much easier time penetrating yamato's deck armor than Yamato's shells would have to penetrate Iowa's. At range Iowa would have just needed to avoid hits until she was in her strike zone and then beat Yamato with radar accuracy.

in either case if I had to pick one of them to be on I'd ask for a bomb shelter instead.
