Basically there is no big difference in between the different. The underlying data store is / should be the same.
What you have to look is the possibility to have :
_ Them synchronized or not
_ Twice the same Key
_ Null's or not
_ ...

What you should do is use an interface that suites you & in the code only once instanciate the proper underlying type you will need.
