This is a tough one. It does say 3 BEST, not 3 most favorite or 3 most commonly used or EDC'd. So,
1 - Custom Thrower - Surefire KT2 head, LF IMR-M6 lamp, Leef HA 3x18650 body, SF Z58 switch w/ AW softstart and 3xIMR18650. (32.5 Watts of shining goodness)
2 - Malkoff MD2 w/ MC-E warm and 2xIMR16340
3 - NiteCore NDI running 1x14500

I suppose these would be my Surefire L1, LiteFlux LF3XT, and the LiteFlux LF2XT.

i just realised i either have bunch of lights that are so equal that i cant really pick 2 of the "best".. or they all are actually crap.
hands down my best: Lummi Raw. its the one that never had a hick-up of anykind. its still a blast to show it off to people whom never seen one b4. cool light and nice design.
then comes lights that are good and i like them, but seriously picking " the best".. hmm difficult.. i will try anyway..
fenix tk11. reason: never had a problem with it. works like a charm. (too bad it has been replaced with smaller lights that have more features or better tint)
then comes a set of lights with their problems:
d10 might be the next if its pd system wouldnt act vague and ramping would be smoother. i like it alot but it just is not working with precision i want!
quark AA t.. the preflash annoys the heck out of me! and the clip is too much in middle..i like deep clips. and its bulkier than d10. otherwise its great.
lmini2.. bumped the tk11 out of use due its 3 modes and warm tint and slim shape. never had a problem with it either.. but it somehow feels wrong to call this cheap light "the best" hahah.
again.. i only have one BEST.. others have flaws 🙂

Hmmm... "best" is hard to quantify since everyone has different criteria for what makes a light "best".
Having said that, here are the three that I consider my "best" lights, as well as a quick blurb for why I consider them to be the "best" ones that I have:
1.) McGizmo Lunasol 20 - two levels, two different beam patterns, so it's probably the most flexible light I have.
2.) McGizmo Sundrop - the high CRI makes it really handy if I want or need good color rendition.
3.) modamag Draco - amazingly small, multiple levels of output.
My own $0.02.

Impossible question.
My EDC never changes. Ti Aeon which is on me whenever I'm dressed.
Around the house is a rotation, depending on needs and moods, between a bunch of 1-2 cell Surefires, both incan and LED.
Searchlight ranges 64633, 64623, 4xDiamond Dragon Malkoff Drop-in in a 2D Mag, P7 Aspheric Mag, etc., etc., on and on.

What is laughable about that collection? Seems pretty darn good to me - small 1 cell light, larger 2 cell light for more runtime, and a high output light.
If forced I think I could survive, maybe even happily, with a photon microlight on my key ring, my Novatac 120P (particularly after I get it modded with a K2:rock🙂 and a Surefire 6P with a Malkoff, Nailbender or Dereelight drop in.
