Generally when we run into this issue we go with the one that has been around the longest and has the most outcome data...viagra. Another thing to consider are the pharmacokinetics of the meds, and viagra has the shortest 1/2 life and length of action of the 3, so less chance for cardio SE's.

A few more interesting comparisons...

The side effect profiles are similar among the three drugs (headaches, nasal congestion, flushing). Blue discoloration of vision is seen only with Viagra (<0.5%) and muscle aches only with Cialis (~5%).

Cialis has a half-life of 17.5 hours so stays active in the body much longer than the other two drugs 24–36 hours—compared to 4–5 hours for Viagra and Levitra. Cialis has earned the nickname ‘weekender,’ as a single dose taken on Friday would still be exerting an effect Sunday (or even Monday)!

Levitra may work faster— 25–30 minutes compared with an hour for Viagra.

Viagra / Cialis / Levitra must not be taken if you are using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems. Nitrates include nitroglycerin (Nitrostat, Nitrolingual, Nitro-Dur, Nitro-Bid, Minitran, Deponit, Transderm-Nitro, others), isosorbide dinitrate (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate), and isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, ISMO, Monoket). Nitrates are also found in some recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers").
