What is the best way to say "I agree"?
Google: Estoy de acuerdo.
FreeTranslation: Concuerdo.
Yahoo: Convengo.
(I´m in agreement. - I agree. - I agree.)
Are my literal translations correct? Is one of these more appropriate or more common than the others? Do they belong in different contexts?

I always say "Estoy de acuerdo" or many times just "De acuerdo."
As always, you need to ask yourself if it is more common to say certain expression in a particular country, as what may be common for some might sound weird for another..
In Spain for example, of those three, the only common one is 'De acuerdo' or 'Estoy de acuerdo'. 'Convenir' or 'concordar' are used for other things. I'm sure in other countries 'Convengo' might be the preferred expression, but so is 'lorry' in the UK and you don't hear people talking about 'lorries' in the US.
I've heard 'estoy de acuerdo' quite a few times, so I'd say it's definitely an 'ok' one to choose.
I can't tell you about the other two options, though, sorry!
See this thread on Concuerdo and Convengo.
Se usa 'opino' también.
In casual conversation, after someone says something you agree with, it is common to say "Claro." or "De acuerdo."
More complicated settings use more complicated versions.
