If you want advice, I would recommend doing the following:

1) Link to the weapons. Find them on this site, on wowhead.com, or on thottbot.com, and either just put in the url (copy+paste) or use the fancy BBCode links.
2) Write out the stats. i.e. min/max damage, speed, DPS, extra stats (forget durability).

That should be enough to let us help you more easily (rather than spoon-feed you info). Then, if you want to try to figure it out yourself, you subtract out what each of them has. Generally works for comparing 2 items, but for 3 you can select the lowest one and have it be 0, then the others would be the difference between the lowest (i.e. if one is 50 and the other is 49, then the other is 0 and the first is 1).

They are exceptionally close to eachother anyhow. Here's a thought. Go with the one you think looks cool. Well, Skyfire Hawkbow is slightly too fast to be easy to use with BM, but other than that, choose what appeals to ya.

Good DD bow, especially in parties, one would think. Seems to be best for MM, average for SV and BM.

Good for PvP with the +stamina, AP's good for BM first, MM second, SV last.

Meh.

Honestly, it really doens't matter that much. I would take one of the first two depending on your spec and what you do more (instances, raids, or PvP).

Put Valanos on the AH, unless you have already equipped it.
If you have, use it. It's only slightly better than Melmorta's, but not enough that I wouldn't take the 50 g or so it will bring you.
Use Melmorta's.
As North said, Skyfire is too fast for BM, but might work for MM/SV, but, without having done the math, I think you will clip your auto shots with haste even then.

One exception: If you're a very casual player who will probably use one of these bows for a long time, I would go with Valanos no matter what, and slap on a good scope on it.

Currently, I'm using Valanos' with a +12 scope. It looks cool, does a good amount of damage, and gives me more mana for more steady shots. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them but since you have all 3, I'd go with the highest DPS (valanos') and AH the others.

I would too, but unfortunately, the others are BoP.

Go with memortas, AH Valanos and call it a day, you get more money and a Higher DPS weapon that makes it easy to weave steady shots between your auto shots.

Or, you could just go with whatever you want a ***** the rest, I mean 50g isn't THAT much in the long run, you could get that in 30 minutes to an hour depending on what your fighting and how fast you sell, so I wouldn't worry about it.
