Ziggs is superior at taking down mid turret with his passive. Thats one unarguable difference.

His range is far more superior than Karth/Gragas. He can easily reach people huddling under a turret (for example) without being put into harm's way.

His CC Slow strikes me as being stronger than Gragas' and being on par with Karthus'. Plus it deals a fairly strong amount of damage.

His escape is worse than Gragas' (as it requires more setup time) but it can be used to inturrupt other champions or blow them into stuff like a Caitlyn trap or Teemo mushroom. But those moments are too situational.)

His Ult is way different than Gragas' but early on I feel Karthus' is better. Late game though Ziggs' ult can decimate the enemy's team health bars in a team fight, and can't be inturrupted (but Karth can cast his after he dies anyways). But when trying to snipe people halfway across the map, Karthus has the clear advantage.

In conclusion I'd say they all fill similar roles, but they excel and suck in different areas. So its down to your playstyle really.
