I think you should probably avoid the Playbook, it doesn't have great support for apps, and Android will be easier to side-load media onto.

Between the Galaxy Tab 7.0 and the Nexus 7.

Plus for the Nexus:

Faster processor
Higher res screen (216 PPI)
Stock Android with no skins
NFC
Fast updates from Google (Sometimes only a couple of days)
Better viewing angles (IPS screen)
Front Camera

Plus for the Galaxy:

Expandable storage
Haptic feedback
Rear Camera

I've got the Nexus 7 and love it.
