Why is there 3 different translators? What's the general difference between them? which is best for casual conversation?

I rarely scroll past the top one. It usually gives me all the information I need, such as a number of different uses of the word as well as examples in sentences. But I guess the more translators the better your odds of getting a translation for less common words.
I always read all three. They are often very similar if not the same. When this happens my confidence level is high that the answer is correct. When they disagree I tend to use my own personal bias when choosing an answer or use different parts from more than one suggested translation.
There are always more than one way to say something and three options are always better than one.
You will find that for any complex translation exercise, the machine translators tend to give different interpretations. At times they are close, but sometimes they are dramatically in variance. These are the situations where you must use your own knowlege and language skills to determine which (if any) are best.
