He was much better than an average journeyman, but I do agree his streak doesn't really mean anything because of the reasons you listed.
As for the original question, I think that 500 home runs is the least of the three listed, mainly because home runs are more of a novelty and don't reflect your overall game. I mean Sammy Sosa, all he can hit are home runs, I would consider someone who hits 3,000 or wins 300 generally a better player that one who hits 500 home runs.
