Jude. I've been raised on the Beatles, and so whenever I hear this name, I think of "Hey Jude" and smile.
Jude - of course! :D I like Judah as well but I think Jude is the nicest sounding of the three... Judas I'd avoid, simply because of the Biblical Judas, otherwise it's actually quite a nice name.

The Biblical character Judas is so prominent that his name is actually used as a generic name for any supposed traitor. Not a nice thing to saddle on a real person, imo.
I love Judah, followed by Jude.

FYI
Judas didn't kill Jesus, he betrayed him. And Judah wasn't a place, it was a person. Judea was the place.

Definitely Jude. It's the simplest and doesn't sound as stuffy as Judas or Judah in my opinion.

Frylock: Shake wait. The Highlander was just a movie.
Master Shake: No, Frylock, The Highlander was a documentary, and events happened in real time.

Jude, naturally. It's fashionable (in some circles anyway) .. thanks especially to Jude Law, but the name's time has simply come, regardless.
Judah and Judas are staid and musty conservative old men from the Old Testament of the Bible. (how it feels when I consider using it myself)
On the other hand, as far as your children are concerned .. Biblical names do bask a bit in the heroic glow and mainstream approval of their origin; and if that's how you see it, I think Judas or Judah sounds fine. But he's bound to prefer to be called Jude in almost every context, because that's the form that feels current, fresh and "young" to folks right now, imo.
