In my opinion VIDURA was the best among the three persons you have mentioned. he possessed very high moral qualities.
He became the chief minister of Paandu when he was appointed as the king of Hastinaapur. Later when Paandu died, he maintained his position with Dhritraashtra also. He always gave good advice to Raajaa. Even great people like Bheeshm Pitaamah also consulted him on complex questions.
He found Dhritraashtra and Kaurav children did not follow ethical values, while Paandav always behaved religiously, politely and ethically. Dhritraashtra and Duryodhan always treated Paandav with a bias, this was just unacceptable to Vidur. So he used to help Paandav.
When Duryodhan made a scheme to burn all Paandav along with Kuntee in Baaranaavat Laakshaa Grih, because he was extremely jealous with Yudhishthir. It was Vidur only who kept vigilance over all the activities going on there, warned them for that, and guided and helped them to escape from there. Not only that, he advised them to hide in Van for some time to see the reaction of Dhritraashtra and Duryodhan. He found it as he expected. They were happy with the news of their death. But Draupadee's Swayamvar opened all secrets. Then Dhritraashtra had to call them back to Hastinaapur.
Vidhur also fought in Kurushetra war on the side of Kauravas duty bond like Bhishma and Dronacharyya.
Though Bhishma and Dronacharyya were very good people they were also duty bound and sided Kauravas in the war. They both were not effective in advising the ill-hearted Duryodana unlike Vidhur..

Well, i don't kno much abt Mahabharata but i will try to answer......I would agree that Vidur was the best. He used to giv gud advice to who ever approached to him, b it Kauravas or Pandavas. Dronacharya, was guru of both Kauravas n Pandavas, and was very partial esp. towards Arjun. Even after knowing that Eklavya was better than Arjun, he told Eklavya to cut his thumb, so that Arjun wud remain the best.
Though Bhishm Pitamaha was with the Kauravas, he never supported them actually, coz He was truely dharm parayan and had promised to b wid them; each of his words was like " pathar ki lakeer " . He was the well wisher of Pandavas.He was very great, but partial.
So, on this basis, Vidur wud b the best

Vidur because he was not tainted by anyone in his reasonings. Bhishma Pitamaha had a favorite (Arjun) and so whatever he did was tainted by that and Dronacharya also had Arjun as his favorite so he would favor him in his decisions. Vidur, however, had no favorites and he would speak the truth so I would say Vidur is the best.
