Answers:
Red tea,it helps your imunne system.

Green tea is good for anti-oxidants (if you need more of them). White tea is actually the best.

Is any other food or drink reported to have as many health benefits as green tea? The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. In her book Green Tea: The Natural Secret for a Healthier Life, Nadine Taylor states that green tea has been used as a medicine in China for at least 4,000 years.

Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.

To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:

cancer
rheumatoid arthritis
high cholesterol levels
cariovascular disease
infection
impaired immune function

out of those you mentioned, I'd say that green tea is more beneficial than the other two simply because of the EGCG and the antioxidants. Black tea still has antioxidants but less since it is more processed. Red tea if you mean Rooibis tea has no caffeine but has very little of the antioxidants and EGCG content.

The best thing to do is the mix up your tea intake so you don't get bored drinking the same thing all the time..You are likely to stick with the tea drinks. good luck.

green tea is the greatest from all the three options you gave, for its the least processed, a good source of anti-oxidants, and helps with slimming down.
But, white tea sure is the best !
