Surfer has physically beat down classic Abomination that was 2x a Savage Hulk iirc.

Basically Surfer outmatches Superman on every metric of measure.
So that would make Surfer indestructible huh and that Thanos wouldn't be able to harm him right? Otherwise, you are contradicting yourself.
Lastly, you must learn of Superman's feats. You would find them comparable or superior.

It is a cold hard fact that Surfer is superior to Superman in many departments, Superman is simply depicted as always overcoming the odds despite the shortcomings of his powerset. He's like the handyman that somehow manages to fix every problem that arises with skillful applications of a hammer, Philip's head screwdriver, and duct tape, versus Surfer who has an entire Home Depot worth of abilities but isn't always on the job to showcase it.
Surfer is only superior when it comes to versatility. That's it.
Superman is superior in strength (by a lot in terms of strenght feats),fighting skills, combat speed, and arguable durability. If it wasn't for Surfer's speed, Superman would pawn him 10/10.
With that said, most agree that Surfer is slightly above Superman as far as p4p in heralds. But to say he is head and shoulder's above (considering Surfer's character) is asinine.
My vote is
1. Surfer
