These are different class systems:
Pac-3 - 20 km altitude
S-400 - 30 km altitude
Arrow-2 - 50-60 km altitude
THAAD - 150 km altitude
Israel is developing now David's Sling missile which will be the analogue of Pac-3 and Arrow-3 which will be the analogue of THAAD. This will make 4 layer defence:
Iron Dome
David's Sling
Arrow-2
Arrow-3
Actually Thaad and Patriot pac-3 are complementary to eachother, in which Patriot pac-3 intercepts a missile in it's terminal stage of flight (in atmospher), while Thaad intercepts a missile while it is in Stratosphere. So, if Thaad fails in intercepting it P Pac-3 would do that. I admire UAE for acquiring Patriot pac-3, Patriot pac-2, Thaad and Pantzir-s1 which makes it's airspace fully protected.
