Anyway, he's clearly outmatch in the strength department by Diana, Clark, and John. On top of that, all three heroes have superspeed, and other trinkets, or power sets which surpass anything Hulk has.
As for strange, thats why I mentioned that it comes down to him. If its classic, they have a better shot at defeating the JLA. Diana has gone toe to toe against Circe, Ares etc.. All of whom happen to be gods. I take you don't read a-lot of Wonder Woman correct? And if I'm not mistaken you've mentioned you hate her in another threat. So.....
As for Surfer, I haven't read Annihilation. But, he will not be able to take on two superheroes at the same time. Getting hit by BRB isn't impressive. Superman has taken worse blows, Diana has taken a hit from Oblivion to the face.... As for Namor, he can easily be dealt with. So once again, the JLA take the win.
Hulk might be one dimensional, but he'll be the last man standing. No body can pass his HF. And not only he's on the same strenght as everyone else, but he'll get stronger, when the fight advance. He can throw things at them, and jump to reach them, and smack their face.
As for Diana against Strange: Strange in the past knock Galactus on his ass. Galactus was laughing after it, but still, he does what very few have done. Oh, and he have been able to fight Death itself for some times. And fight Mephisto in his realm. A classic Strange would murder Diana, and take Sups, John and Hal with her.
And for the Surfer's feat, BRB isn't a chump. He's on par with Thor. Thor who is almost universally regarded as on par with Sups. Surfer taked the hit, smack him behind the head with his board, and told him to stay down, which Beta Ray Bill did.
And Namor have gone toe-to-toe with Hercules, smashed Iron Man, and gave match to Hulk. The worst he can do is gaining time fighting Diana or Sups.
And without PIS and CIS, Surfer take out Sups at the start, via matter manipulation (create Kryptonite, syphon him of solar energy, or just shoot him with red son energy, pick your poison) then procede to kick ass. And even if he don't play it cheap, he's still the top dog in this fight, and would outpower any foe.
Current version: Defenders 8/10
Classic version: Defenders 9,5/10, because really, they don't have nothing on Strange
