ok so you realize that this is all opinion based, right? all of those companies are great drum and hardware manufacturers. its like comparing bmw to mercedes. everyone will have a different opinion and its purely personal preference. one brand is not better than the other. BUT to answer your question, here are my opinion.
1. DW (great custom drums. its what i would play if i had the money lol), tama (what i play currently), pearl, ludwig (ludwigs are very popular and many drummers tout them as the best. ive just never been a huge fan).
2. pearl (i use mostly gibraltar, with a few pearl stands here and there from my old kit), tama (makes great hihats and bass pedals), dw/ludwig (are equal in my opinion).
3. the pearl masters is top of the line, their flagship maple model. but the visions are a great beginner/intermediate kit. i actually own one as my practice kit. for tama, i like the starclassic maple. that is my main/gigging kit. like i said.... i cant really answer this one without a budget. pearl visions are like 500, while the master can top 2000. so hard to say really.
good luck!
In my opinion Tama is the best brand out there. Ludwig is kind of bad, Pearls are good, but Tamas have such a great sound. I currently own a Tama Imperialstar, no complains.
Any opinion offered as an answer to your question will be totally subjective. There is no way to OBJECTIVELY prove which is best.
That said, ALL the manufacturers you list make great drums in different series. You just need to educate yourself about the various shells, components and hardware.

They all make some great drums, and they all make some great hardware. What's more important in deciding a kit is your skill level and the type of music you play. Then you have to decide how much money you can spend.
