My guess is the Oscar will be the favorite. Great fish and super interactive
Do you have the 90? If you're in the states you could set up a 125 for less $ and have plenty of space for all 3 to maybe cohabit a little easier. Catch the Christmas sale at Petsmart for 300$, a big sun sun can from Amazon while adding bio for >150$, somewhere will have an AC 110 for >80$. 90s aren't as common around me so maybe an option for you.
A 90 would not be ideal, but could be done depending on the personalities of the individual fish and how much maintenance you are willing to do. I had an Oscar with a couple large severums and a jack Dempsey (and various temporary fish) for years in a 90 gallon, the tank got dirty a bit quick but I had no aggression issues. If you were willing to do a 50-60% water change once a week, or two 40%, I think you would be okay bioload-wise as long as you didn't overfeed.
The issue would probably be with the JD and GT imo, if they were both passive it could work out well. If one of them becomes an aggressor, you might have to remove a fish.

Ahh well, my suggestion would be O by itself, or either JD or GT pairs or solo with dithers like swords/mollies. Anything more is going to be too taxing on your time(teachers are busy) to keep up with maintenance.
