Will a nano ceramic or glass based paint coating create a better shine then wax?
I understand a paint coating will last much longer, but if the surface preparation is done properly, will a paint coating produce superior shine, gloss and depth over a high quality wax or sealant?
Please share your thoughts!

Hmmm, this is a big question. As you have stated, if the prep work is the same, the look of a high quality glass coating will be different from a premium wax. Waxes tend to give the paint a deep wet look, the coatings have an extreme level of gloss, think candy apple. They both have their place.

So generally speaking, a coating will provide a high gloss appearance versus a wax which will be more of a wet look with maybe more depth. I realize this is an individual preference, but I prefer the high gloss personally.
What about sealants?

Yes
Some ceramic coatings contain ingredients that are more reflective than the paint they are applied to
One example is CQuartz UK

Color and type of paint may change how a coating will look. I recently applied the Blackfire coating to a metallic grey Mazda3. On that paint, I didn't notice the coating looking much different from other waxes and sealants I've applied. It looks good, just not noticeably different.
If I was to apply the same product to my black metallic car or my wife's maroon metallic vehicle, I may see a great deal of difference.
