What is BM or Hyperion going to do with a great magical threat?
What are they going to do against a vast amount of energy that's aimed at the planet?
What are they going to do against intangible beings?
What are they going to do against telepaths?
I can go on and on. That's why we need someone very versatile to deal with a variety of threats. Not someone who is only powerful.
Surfer, Hal, and Thor can deal with a so much larger variety of threats it's not funny. Mentioning BM or Hyperion in the discussion is asinine.
As far as Thor, he mostly fights like a warrior. Assuming he didn't and both him and Surfer fought to their potential then Surfer still slightly edges him out due to speed. Plus Mjolnir can be manipulated (controlled by magnetism, knocked from Thor, etc.)
Sentinel Alan is Trans. And GL Alan isn't in this discussion on versatility.
Sentry isn't HH either. People didn't forget him; they're just following the OP.
Anyone saying Thor lacks versatility needs to read some of his older - still canon - material. Mjolnir has more powers than Megaman in the final boss battle.
Majestic doesn't have any more raw power than Thor, and less versatility. He may actually be a better choice than Kal, not because he has more power (he doesn't) but because he has no discernible weaknesses.
Plutonian is an odd case for a number of reasons. Whether from lack of definitive power level, or you think he's > HH, I'd say he should be ignored for this thread.
Thor/Surfer remains the best choice. 1-v-1 Superman or Hal are valid choices, but not with OP stips. The mages work too, but if I literally didn't know what challenge or opponent they'd have to face, I'd take Thor.

Thor. You have a high herald wielding a weapon that can harm Galactus level beings and outright slay skyfathers at it's best. No contest imo.Surfer can literally do anything but just doesn't possess quite as much raw power as Thor does.
Thor's mentality prevents him from being versatile. Mjolnir can be knocked away or manipulated. Thor is not as fast as Surfer.
