The study I linked earlier, which used cameras to watch the car and what the drivers were doing, gets into just the question you're asking. I think a lot of your uncertainties and questions would be addressed if you did some reading.
FWIW it says texting is far and away the worst distraction, then reaching around the vehicle for things, fooling around with dispatching devices (this was looking at commercial truckers) next, then dialing phones (as distinct from talking on them). Most of the other stuff you mentioned did not rate as risk factors.
