Kent was at least Strange's equal if not slightly superior, but every other fate except the merged fate was his inferior by a giant leap.
Surfer and Hal are close in power, but Surfer can duplicate anything Hal has ever done and he's physically superior and thousands of millions of times faster.
I could see if you think Surfer is faster (equal in flight speed), and I could even see how you think he's more powerful (wrong but acceptable) but how the hell is he more versatile?
He doesn't know wtf he's talking about. The reason for that is D.C's fault, thought.
Matter fact, Strange and GLs are a lot alike when it comes to how they are portrayed in anything other than their own titles.
GLs seem only able to make big fists and punch/pick things up with them or make weapons like big axes. Strange is used as a guy who can teleport and shoot beams from his hands.
But yea, GL and Surfer are both equally versatile.
'scuse me, but GLs are depicted as making rather comical use of their rings. The Surfer's powers are just far more varied and dynamic. from altering dna (on a planetwide scale) to creating blackholes and travelling in time.
of course The Surfer is more versatile (and much faster - billions of times the speed of light, can the human GLs actually even process information/sensations coming at those speeds?).
just because the ring allows GLs to come up with anything they want doesn't mean that they're no longer human (and limited by the same physiology as the rest of us).
Actually Kyle integrated Kryptonian DNA into his own with the ring at one point. The ring really is only limited by imagination and will. It has an AI as well which does a lot automatically.
-FO!!

No not really the will of the user basically defines what the plasma constructs can do, both as far as integrity and scope e.g. Superman prime is able to swat a star in Solaris, we've seen it contain supernovas etc. dependent on the user. It takes a certain kind of willpower to weild the ring for instance Green Arrow a string willed guy could only make an arrow because he was cynical.
If though you mean it is limited in duration of charge in that you are correct.
-FO!!
