If you are in a rush do Heathrow Express to Paddington then tube to Victoria and then Southern Train to Brighton takes about 2 hours 20 minutes.

Your way would add on an extra hour.

TfL website says c 1h 50 mins via Piccadilly Line and District line to Victoria and on to Brighton:
T3 to Hammersmith 30 mins
Hammersmith to Victoria 15 mins
Victoria to Brighton 55 mins

(all times give or take a minute or two based on what time you set off)

First option takes the same time as taking the Heathrow express, tube then train from Victoria and that's if the bus isn't late.

Second option is quicker if you get a fast Feltham to Clapham Junction train.

Have done it myself (only as far as Teddington though) - quicker (and way cheaper) than a taxi, but then it was late at night.
On the second point, you are correct - you'd be hard pushed to get a slow train from Feltham to Clapham Jn.

Just book a private hire mini cab upfront, jeez, probably £100 each way...

M25 on a Friday? He's landing at lunchtime, by the time you get out and sort out rental it will be early afternoon. Way more than an hour from Heathrow to M23 exit.

Fair point

Actually, WTFH's idea of a bus to Gatwick then train sounds best, and that's not just because they're a moderator.

(although your point also applies to buses)

Buses smell of wee and are frequented by people of low social status. On that basis, I'm out.

Thanks for all the input, much appreciated and I'm going through all the options now.

Now for the important stuff, what about pubs and curry houses?
