Work wise, di ata nauubusan ng trabaho ang Sydney... Downside is high cost of living; don't have the full details but based on rent from a close friends, it was like 350/wk for us (in Melbourne, 2bed 10km from the CBD) versus 500/wk for them (SYD, 2bed, 30km from the city).
If you want lifestyle naman, you can always google people's perception of the 3 cities you mentioned above and compare it with your priorities.
