Those 3 are considered as best warriors in recent history of Westeros. But I hope together we can put them in right order
1) This is book versions only (in show Jaime is very downgraded and they dont mention anything about their achievements.)
2) Each character will have actual feats and accolades from books.
3) If I forget some feat or some accolades than mention them in your post.
So lets begin.

Jaime Lannister :
Feats :
- Won melee tourney at age of 13.
- At the age of fifteen, Jaime participated in the campaign against the Kingswood Brotherhood, during which he saved Lord Sumner Crakehall from Big Belly Ben and crossed swords with the psychotic Smiling Knight (Who was very deadly swordsman). After the brotherhood had been defeated, Jaime was knighted on the battlefield by Ser Arthur Dayne,
- Won Tourney at jousting held to celebrate Cersei and Robert wedding
- Won some other unknown tournaments
- Defeated his army and captured Edmure Tully
- Killed some solider in attemt to reach Robb Stark :
“He mislaid his sword in Eddard Karstark’s neck, after he took Torrhen’s hand off and split Daryn Hornwood’s skull open,” Robb said. “All the time he was shouting for me. If they hadn’t tried to stop him--”

Accolades :
- Brienne remembered her fight with Jaime Lannister in the woods. It had been all that she could do to keep his blade at bay. He was weak from his imprisonment, and chained at the wrists. No knight in the Seven Kingdoms could have stood against him at his full strength, with no chains to hamper him.
- Ser Barristan thoughts :
Black as maester’s ink he was, but fast and strong, the best natural swordsman Selmy had seen since Jaime Lannister.
- (Jaime thinking) Amongst the living, Greatjon Umber was stronger, Strongboar of Crakehall most likely, both Cleganes for a certainty. The Mountain’s strength was like nothing human. It did not matter. With speed and skill, Jaime could beat them all.
- R.R. Martin said that in his opinion Jaime > Aragorn in combat (from Lord of the rings)

-(Eddard Stark)The finest knight I ever saw was Ser Arthur Dayne, who fought with a blade called Dawn, forged from the heart of a fallen star. They called him the Sword of the Morning, and he would have killed me but for Howland Reed
-(Jaime to other 5 members of kingsguard) I learned from Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, who could have slain all five of you with his left hand while he was taking a piss with the right
