surfer is top 5 fastest character because he actually has to be.
finding planets for galactus is an ever increasing task that spans the entire universe, and galactus has to feed approximately once an earth month so... you get the picture.
galactus gave him the cosmic surf board to travel faster than most for that reason, and galactus doesn't screw around with his hunger.
i mean, name another character other than a herald of galactus (or hermes) who's job it is to get place to place across universes as an occupation.

I've seen both of them travel light years in a matter of seconds. Like Surfer, Gladiator's job entails lots of interstellar travel. He polices an empire that spans galaxies and is routinely called on to deal with matters outside the empire, after all.
My gut says Surfer, but I think that either of them are so fast that a writer can have them travel from anywhere to anywhere else in no time flat and it won't seem unusual.
