The Joker has been around a lot longer than the Toyman. He is also a lot nastier. The original Toyman (Winslow P Schott) was always more interested in outwitting Superman (much like the Prankster.) I felt good for him when they brought him back against the ‘new’ Toyman, (Jack something) and he helped Superman capture the guy. It showed that even bad guys could reform, and it was something that gave hope to young guys who struggled with self control issues, not like the anti-heroes of today who simply show young guys that it’s all right to be violent, someone will still like you. It was redemptive.
I felt bad for the Toyman when he went evil. What happened was Bizarro had a hallucination that the Bizarro world was destroyed, along with Lois and all the other Bizarros. He flew to Earth to get help from Superman, but crashed into the convention center where the reformed Toyman was going to display his products for manufacturers to consider marketing. All the prototypes were destroyed. Witnesses who saw Bizarro from a distance thought it was Superman. Toyman went berserk and swore vengeance.
Toyman wanted to make a new reputation for himself. He wanted to be feared. He wanted to kill Superman. He had never been taken seriously by the supervillain crowd before. So he went and killed the other ‘new’ Toyman, the one he helped Superman capture before. (He built a robot cuckoo clock and the bird that came out stabbed him to death with its beak.) That was where he crossed the line. He had never been a killer before. But the Joker was a killer since his first appearance.
It was so sad. Superman stopped the Toyman, and rebuilt all his toys, and stopped Bizarro on his rampage, and Bizarro admitted that he didn’t mean to smash all the toys, and Winslow realized that he had killed the other Toyman for nothing. He was placed in a mental institution. He eventually recovered and was released, but DC saw that bringing Toyman back would not boost sales. So they left him retired. It was a sad ending to someone who had been a very popular character at one time.
So, to boil things down, Joker is more vicious, more deadly and more devious than the Toyman (either of them.) Despite his breakdown and the murder of the ‘pretender’ to the Toyman name, Winslow Schott just doesn’t have that killer instinct. Joker would win.

Toyman. He has been underrated, but look what John Byrne did with him during his run on Superman, he used his toys to kill people.
The Toyman would lose a direct confronation with the Joker, but the Toyman would send his tanks, and planes after him from a distance.
Then he would hit him with some sort of clown doll or puppet, the Joker would not be able to resist until, BAM! One less foe for Batman.
