"Of the three, Jayco isn't really close."
Statements like this should not be made and are useless, unless you have owned all three brands and every level of Jayco. I have owned six different fifth wheels over the last 30 years all different brands and "levels or price points" such as Hitchhiker, Forest River, Newmar,and with the exception of two Jayco's. One of the Jayco's was a less expensive model and my current 5er is a Pinnacle, a higher level/cost unit. Each had its positives and negatives, for a given price point I believe Jayco's are very competitive. Yes I have been in Artic Foxes and they are nice but definitely not at another level even though many of their dealers and owners tout them as such. There are 5ers that have attributes that put them on a higher level but in my opinion, not the units you are comparing.
