Is your question what are your 3 most productive baits, or are you asking what are your most productive baits of the three you mentioned, the crank bait, the spinner bait and the top water bait?
Your title seems to ask something different than your question.

I have a lot of baits I use that I have a lot of confidence in but I let the water temp, cover, visibility, depth, dictate.
I fished a 50 acre Private Water Fishing club lake for the first time last week. I showed up with 4 rods and didn't have one bait tied on when I arrived. I had one rod rigged with a 1/4 oz weight and a 4/0 hook for soft plastic. I got out on the water and looked at it then made a decision on what baits to start.
Too many times I think we show up with preconceived notions of what we should be using then try to make the fish bite them. I have been guilty of this as well. We think because we whacked them on a watermelon Senko last week we can duplicate it.
I fish with a couple buddies that will pretty much only throw a weightless Senko when they go. They rarely deviate from that or a Yellow Magic topwater if they hit the lake early. They will throw the YM at the shoreline for the first hour or so them pick up the Senko. If they don't catch fish on either one of those they leave thinking the fish weren't biting. They may have missed a school of fish sitting off a small point that would have eaten a big squarebill.
I know we gain confidence in certain lures and I have a lot of confidence in certain baits as well but I am not married to them. They are all like tools in our tool-belt. I see too many guys that are using a phillips-head screwdriver when an Allen wrench would produce much better results.
Get out on the water, look at the cover then decide

Your title seems to ask something different than your question. The three listed. Sorry for the confusion. Your best of each one.

When using these three baits, what are your three favorite, most productive?
Crankbait? Spinnerbait? Topwater? For the above, Squarebill - Academy XPS or Strike King 1.5, either Shad or black / chartreuse Spinnerbait - War Eagle 3/8 willow / colo chartreuse/white Topwater - Xcaliber / Booyah X pop, buzzbait or Spro popping frog. Depending on time of year However I throw chatterbait more than spinnerbait year round.
