DD is more durable than adamantium. Darkseid can instant vapor adamantium but not DD.
Superman is stronger, faster, more durable, has more powers than Drax with PG. Drax doesn't offer anything that Superman doesn't offer. Thus the comparison is valid. The Power Gem amplifies powers you already have. They don't give you the power to create any energy you want. You must provide proof of this on panel. Even if it did, then Drax doesn't know what a particular energy is made out of by only its name. What is kryptonite made of?NO! The general population. Not the Superhero community. The Superhero community knows that Clark Kent is Superman but that is not general knowledge. Again, this is moot as no one knows what a specific type of energy is made of just by knowing it's name. He must prove it. Since he didn't then he is not. He is only limited to his showings and thus the PG does nothing for him. Superman is better than Drax in every way. Even if he wasn't then it is moot to whether DD can beat Superman. Why? Because DD is stronger than Superman, faster than Drax, more durable than Drax. These advantages alone gives DD the auto win.
He's basing that off of those missiles Superman failed to destroy, but Darkseid wasted with his OE who then failed to keep Doomsday down with them, I'd imagine. I'm pretty sure he feels those missiles are = or > adamantium.
Drax beating Thanos is much more impressive than Doomsday beating Superman. Superman is one of the most overrated characters. His victories aren't based on his abilities, they're based on the fact that he is DC's bread and butter, Batman and Green Lantern are good, but they don't even come close to approaching Superman's sales numbers. They never would have killed him or even created Doomsday in the first place, unless they needed a gimmick. Marvel doesn't have that problem. Their solid roster of characters and loyal fans have brought them to the point that there is no such thing as an un-killable character in the Marvel Universe. This is why Drax beating Thanos is much more impressive than Doomsday killing Superman, IMO. DOS, was purely gimmick, it only happened because the TV people wanted to do the wedding of Lois and Clark before the comic did, so they needed a "Plan B". Basically, Superman will only die when the writers decide they need to boost their sales or run out of novelties. On the Marvel side Thanos gets no such treatment. He has become one of the most powerful, hardest to defeat characters in all of comics, through consistency, good writing, and fan loyalty. Not favoritism.

If you can kill Thanos in a one on one fight it's because you're a bad mother f*cker, not because sales have begun to suffer or the writers need a new gimmick.
