Surfer's like a big tin of petrol and a box of matches, Hulk is like a grenade and Thor like a blow-torch.
If you used each to destroy a slab of metal, Hulk would obliterate it first, Thor would GB it a little slower and Surfer would take the longest time to get the job done.
But if you wanted the whole house destroyed as well, then Surfer would be the one to do it quickest and Thor the slowest.
I agree with this that Surfer would do it faster than Thor and that Hulk wouldnt be able to burn it down or destroy the slab of metal. (A grenade wouldnt do either). But shouldnt Surfer be past Sentry? On my thread of powers comparability it looks like Surfer can do anything that Sentry can do and much more.
