I now favor WW Hulk over DD due to the writer's own interpretation of how powerful Dd actually is not how powerful you hope he is.
Doomsday craps on them
Without PIS/CIS Apocalypse is a DD that doesn't need to die to adapt his powers are described as following:
Apocalypse's full extent of powers remain to be revealed, especially to the extent of which powers have since been augmented by alien technology. Apocalypse claims to have control of his body on the molecular level-- allowing him to shape change and elongate with virtually unlimited range, to increase density and allow his body to mimic metals and armors, to teleport, and to be virtually immune to the effects of age. Apocalypse can also increase his strength to levels surpassing that of the Hulk, grow to giant sizes, and gain the power of flight, sometimes through turning his arms into wings or jets. Apocalypse can also transform himself into a variety of human disguises.
So if that is really true without CIS I'm going with the Team, but not eternally...

I understodd it differently. Superman isn't using even 95 percent of his power because of his moral code. He holds back. So a not holding back type would need only 95% of Supermans real (and unknown) power to be really bad ass.
Since you place the opinion of Dan Jurgens so high, you also agree on the follwing part of the same interview`🙂.
"RC: In the books these days, the "magic weakness" is almost never there.
DAN JURGENS: I know. I know. Straight up? Superman is more powerful, but because of the magic weakness . . . but because of the magic component, Thor wins.
RC: In your opinion, is Superman is a lot more powerful than Thor?
DAN JURGENS: Yeah.
RC: Wow. When you worked on DC Vs. Marvel and pitted Quicksilver against Flash, you guys had boosted Quicksilver up to the speed of sound while Flash was running at multiples of the speed of light or whatever . . . would you say that Superman is as many times more powerful than Thor or the Hulk as Flash is as many times faster than Quicksilver?
DAN JURGENS: Yes.
RC: Wouldn’t that make Superman, like, millions of times more powerful than Thor?
DAN JURGENS: Yes."
