So I did a craigslist fish tank meet up and the guy had these three plecos in the tank. I have no clue what type they are. I would say the larger one is around 15" long and the two smaller ones are about 7 or 8". If i keep any of the three it would probably be the larger of the three.

The largest one is a Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus, and the smaller two are Hypostomus sp. of some kind (not sure which species they are).
 
the biggest one is definatly a common, but I'm not 100% sure about the smaller ones. If all 3 are common, you'll be lucky to get really anything credit-wise

this is 100% spot on. the large one may also be a pterygoplichthys pardalis but the only way to tell for sure is by looking at the belly.
 
All 3 are commons: The largest one is a Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus, the other two are Hypostomus Plecostomus
