I don't know the plots of those operas, but I love Gianni Schicci.
It's hilarious. Greedy relatives are mad that their uncle Gianni died and willed all of his money to the church. They decided to dress one of the cousins up as Gianni, put him in his "death bed" and invite a different lawyer over so that "Gianni" can rewrite his will to include the relatives. Well, long story short, the cousin gets on the death bed and rather than will it to everybody, he wills it all to himself.

If I had to choose between the three, it would be Cosi Fan Tutti. Some me probably think women are still a little lose (hee hee hee), and this is why we have Dr. Phil on TV. My all time favorite is Le Nozze di Figaro as the 1st answer said, because everyone has hormone problems.

Fleidermaus, because they really humiliate that guy.
Favorite: Marriage of Figaro. The part where they think the woman who's been chasing him is Fig's mother is totally hilarious.
Generally, though, I don't get many laughs out of even comedic opera. Punch lines lose their sting when they take sixteen bars to sing.
