New Shepard < Falcon 1 < Falcon 9 < New Glenn

Where does Falcon Heavy fit in that progression?

Falcon Heavy technically has a little more payload to LEO than New Glenn, but it's stuck with an extremely undersized fairing for that job, so really it's better treated as Falcon 9 that's able to go further out. For the bulk of the market, New Glenn is more capable.
