of those three, I would go with the last one.
the first two are gasket supplements. not replacements.

neither would be my choice though. I would go with permatex Ultra Blue. Ultra black is OK too, but the black you have will work, it's just not as good, so be SURE you have cleaned both surfaces REALLY well, I mean after scraping, and wire wheeling, rub really well with acetone. GET VERY CLEAN! and let the goop partially dry after you put it on the Diff cover. then assemble loosely, and only torque after setting overnight.

To further clarify, they're also not "silicone." I dunno if Mercedes have any bolt threads that go into areas with oil or coolant, but if so, #2 is a good choice to use on those threads.
