They are clear that both: Opus > Sonnet and 3.5 > 3.0. I don't think there is a clear universal better/worse relationship between Sonnet 3.5 and Opus 3.0; which is better is task dependent (though with Opus 3.0 being five times as expensive as Sonnet 3.5, I wouldn't be using Opus 3.0 unless Sonnet 3.5 proved clearly inadequate for a task.)
