imo, a little of both, with Surfer holding back too.
I stand by Thor having more impressive energy projection, versatility, and perhaps even blunt force feats with his hammer. If there's a character Superman can't beat down, I'd bet money that Thor can defeat such a character.
But Superman probably has overall more consistently impressive durability. Supermans the poster child of invincibility for a reason.

That really doesn't make sense.
Thor used his versatility when the need called for it, otherwise he simply wouldn't have displayed those abilities. When the need called for it, he absorbed the energy of Kang effortlessly and sent it back at him. When the need called for it, he summoned rain capable of halting the Hulk. When the need called for it, he stopped the Null Bomb from destroying a galaxy. Etc, etc, etc. Clark is more creative in battle consistently, but he's not more versatile than Thor.

Then you'd honestly be wrong. Also:

Basically, Thor typically tackles threats with brute force and hammer swings, throws, and the occasional storm summoning. Generally speaking, that's more than enough to stop the average threat he comes across. When dealing with foes or disasters who require more than that, he uses his other abilities when he needs to. People think his pride is like some crippling Achilles heel and Thor outright refuses to call upon his vast power, but comics don't support that. He prefers a straight up physical battle while holding back a vast level of power, true, but when push comes to shove, Thor pulls shit out of his ass as need be. It's not CIS, PIS, or jobbing, or whatever excuse people want to cite it as. It's just reality. Feats support this, but people are intent to ignore or twist them.

Like Superman's speed, etc.
