After all, GT is not part of the mainstream DBZ canon and with respect to time periods, you're selecting a non-canon version at the end of his run going back to the 90s when comic and anime fans were power crazy. To do the same for Superman, then, you have to pick a non-canon version at the end of a run which means either an end-of-an-era Superman (peak Golden, Bronze, or Silver Age, for example) or- like GT- a limited series, meaning beings like All Star Superman (who has a star-eater as a pet and pushes stars around) are in the running.

As for the endurance bit, I suspect that you'll find more instances of Goku reaching his limits and needing Senzu beans than you will find Superman needing solar sustenance. I can think of several occasions of the first whereas Superman starving never happens.

With respect to the teleportation... simply put, no.

Goku never shown the ability to teleport something against its will. That's why it's always, "Hold on tight!" before instant transmission and why Goku has NEVER used it as an offensive combat technique even when the world depended on it (if it were as simple as teleporting the threat away, why let Earth take the beating?). Even if Goku had the ability- which he doesn't- once again it falls into the category of cheap tricks that Goku would never resort to. If you're going to cut out his brain, character, personality, and temperament you might as well say, "Generic Saiyan v. Generic Kryptonian."

Goku has shown us that he despises dirty tactics and even if you handed him a block of Kryptonite or some other magic win- say the assembled balls- he'd never use them in a fight.

Sorry, but I have to correct you. He has not only teleported an enemy to take the danger away from his friends, but he has also used instant transmission in combination with the Kamehameha. (Remember when he fought Cell, just search instant transmission kamehameha) Not trying to disprove you in any way, your pretty spot saying this situation would never happen.
