In my opinion, its a notch and a half below Boardwalk, two below Justified, and three below Breaking Bad.

I'd have to disagree with that assessment. I think Boardwalk and BB are probably the all around better shows today, but thats given the fact that Hell on Wheels is only 3 episodes old. Shows like that, with a strong history component, tend to take a while to get going and develop, I'd use Deadwood (a classic) as a strong example of that. I haven't seen enough of Justified to make much of a judgement, but from what I have seen I'd certainly take the acting in Hell over the acting in Justified, I also find the general plot in Justified to be nothing special at all.
If I was ranking the 4 shows you've mentioned, I'd do it as follows:
1. Boardwalk
2.
3. Hell on Wheels (given the potential I see for it)
4. BB
5.
6. Justified (given I really haven't seen enough to make a fair judgement)
