Note that "Thank you for taking the time" is not a complete sentence. You need to say afterwards what the person took the time to do.
Thank you for taking the time to read my piece of writing.
Thank you for taking the time to read my essay.
Thank you for taking the time to read my article.
If you wanted us to choose one from your list then "Which one of these is [the] best?"
If you wanted us to put your statements in order of "correctness", then "Are any of these better than the others?"
When you say "better", you're asking for a comparison so we need to know "better than what".
