pearl vs company man vs toboggan
Which one is better you think guys?

I made some simple math to caculate the diffrence of tobaggan and company man
lets say we have 1 damage and 2x critical multiplier our critical damage will become 2

for tobaggan i think amp was boosting damage to %100 idk if its critical boost but lets go from base damage
2 x 2 = 4

for god roll company man %50 damage + %50 critical damage it will become
1,5 x 2,5 = 3,75
And this is all the time you dont have to do anything else

But considering tobaggan you have to slide every time to get an amp damage
And for pearl you can only focus on single target, you have to stack to get a %90 + if you miss a single shot it breaks the combo
Tobaggon still great for one shot weapons but i would make my ranking like this

1-Company man
2-Tobaggan
3-Pearl

Well Company Man would be amazing but considering it is behind an additional pay wall I'm going to stick with pearl.

It depends entirely on the vault hunter that youre playing and the build that youre using.

Toboggan can be really strong if your aim is to oneshot bosses or deal high damage with a single bullet. The toboggan be really devastating but it is less practical on Moze for example. The toboggan is a great fit for Zane. It's also a bit less practical then the others as you have to continously slide to make the most of it.

The company man artefacts are really strong but only if you focus on certain manufacturers. If this is the case then these artefacts have the potential to outdamage the pearl of ineffable knowledge. They work on every vault hunter and they are broadly usable by a wide variety of builds. I use the Jakobs company man on my deputy Fl4k build and it is absolutely devastating. Overal I personally consider this one to be the best choice out of the 3 artifacts that you mentioned due to it's high damage potential and versatility.
It's better then the pearl of ineffable knowledge in my opinion and a strong contender for the best artefact in the game.

The pearl is an excellent choice but you really have to keep those stacks up to maximise it's potential. I find the pearl to be a rather poor choice on Amara. It's also worth noting that you generally have to sacrifice a grenade slot to always maintain the stacks.
With that being said though, it's damage potential is really high especially on Moze.
I consider this to be the best artefact on Moze due to her high firerate and her ability to easily keep the amount of stacks high.

It can also be used on other vault hunters but if you adapt your build slightly to focus on one weapon manufacturer then the company man might be a better option and it will outdamage the pearl in those cases. I used the pearl on Zane before Hemovorous came out. I mainly used Vladof weapons so I switched to a Vladof company man and my dps became a lot higher. If you like to use a lot of weapons from different companies then the pearl is a better fit then the company man though.

To be honest i did liked better when Toboggan has the slide speed bug. Because when you have max stack speed deamon it makes you fall off the map so easly now. Still great toght i try it on my sniper rifles and rpg's it makes a mayhem modes a real mayhem. But sadly you cant expect to use this with an auto guns. Its bacily useless for any auto gun. And now Torrent becomes a real trend. If ionic disruptor wouldn't be a buggy mess i would have stay with this artifact .

The toboggan is a bit finnicky to use and it doesn't work with a lot of weapons. It's really strong when combined with a lot of RPG's such as the ion cannon or the kickcharger.
It will probably work with sniper rifles as well so you could also test it out with the skullmasher or another decent sniper rifle.

It's a great artefact and it can make bossfights really easy but it is not suitable for mobbing and it is not as broadly usable as the others. The toboggan is amazing against raid bosses, especially if used with Zane or Fl4k.

Snowdrift victory rush... Also white elephant.... Those are op on some certain builds but for all-around playing I might agree with your list
