I'm not asking for the best top laner I'm asking for your opinion on who is the best top laner out of these three. Share your choice and why you picked them in the comments please. :)

Aatrox is better "over all, all around" he does a few more things that Darius doesn't do, however he doesn't do the things Darius does, as well as Darius does them. Aatrox is a safe pick, easier to play while a bit behind or even, though a bit forgiving to play once he's slightly ahead. But I would say out of the 3 Darius is "better" is most situations unless the specific player is simply better with Aatrox then they are with Darius. When I fight Aatrox my main concern is "Is Aatrox's passive up or down guys?" That's my primary worry. If it's up I back off when I get him low, if it's down, I go for the kill.
When I fight Darius, if he's the same level as me and I havn't been laning against him from the start (where I can lane vs him very well as a Darius main myself) I just sorta feel irritated and poke at him and he's such a threat I can even make tactical mistakes because of his "pressence" Darius isn't mobile but I think that suits Darius for who he is. Listen to him talk as you play him. He isn't the kind of guy to run away from a fight. He is a strategic ruthless warrior. If Darius poorly judges a situation and engages in a battle that he couldn't win, he should die swinging his Axe not with his back turned.
The proper mechanics of playing Darius is to fight and engage and commit when you are not going to need mobility to ecape because you don't need to ecape because your Axe is in their skull. Playing off this theme actually encourages the proper way to play Darius against his "counter play" opponents. No mobility? Play a bit more involved without "Oh whatever my q/w/e is on cd I can just hop away" to "I need to be careful where I am all the time" Kind of like how Nasus and Annie encourage new players to last hit properly by providing very good incentives in doing so.
Depends.
Aatrox is a beast at split pushing while darius imo is better for team fights so they both have something different about them. I'd have to go with Atrox on this one.
Better sustain, passive op, lifesteal op and could rape turrets.
