Beowulf, he has insane superhuman strength. He's used a sword made for giants, swam for 5 days straight with armour while fighting sea monsters, and took on a dragon when he was ancient. Beowulf was the reason that no one attacked the Geats during his rule, as they were all afraid of him.
Conan. He eats these kind of monsters for breakfast. And he's infinitely more experienced and skilled. 😎 He's the original comic barbarian.

Other than killing the Dragon everything else was all lies or exaggeration. I think the water Demon had something to do with Beowulf not losing control over his kingdom. Conan actually did the types of things that Beowulf was said to have done. However, The way he took that Dragon down was pretty metal.
Leonidas is probably the most badass out of the three, but his fairy tale tellings are told as being a more average man than Conan and Beowulf. You should swap Achilles in place of leonidas

Leonidas the most badass? You obviously never read any of the conan books. Marvel couldn't depict half the bloodthirsty sh!t Robert E Howard wrote. If he was without a weapon he was wont to tear you aprt with his bare hands!

While I agree with most of what you have said, except for the Achilles part... he is more on Hercules' level and should not be in this fight.
I have a comic depicting Conan killing a dragon as well, I've read about how he broke a fully grown silverbacks neck while being locked in a test of strength. Most of Beowolf's feats were hyperbole, Conan alone would match up to him nicely.
Taking out Leonidas and putting in King Kull, would be better.
