All three will work correctly.
BAILEY DV's have given a lot of people a lot of trouble, diaphragm ones tend to be louder, but can split diaphragm's but last years before this happens and spares are cheap and easy.
Saying that piston ones especially BAILEY can jam.

If your going for a single piston or a diapraghm dump valve then get one with a filter as the cossie's lay out tends to suck the dumpvalve open at idle allowing unfiltered air into the inlet. Im using a twin piston Forge...have done for a few years with no problems.
