All have their advantages and disadvantages. I suspect the Glock and SIG are tied for size and ease of concealment; the Glock probably has a price advantage; etc. Personally, my order of choice would be:
1. SIG 245;
2. H&K USP compact;
3. G36.
This is not to knock the Glock (I own several of them), but because the G36 in particular doesn't fit my hand very well, and causes pain and suffering after a few magazines have been fired.
USP45C: Cock & lock or DA/SA. Heck carried it uncocked and locked if you want to. 8 rds. Aggressive grip checkering, may be uncomfortable seated in a car for a long time with an untucked shirt. Pointy fingerrest or flat magazine basepad an option. If you wanna carry C&L train yourself to ALWAYS take the damn safety off!
Glock 36: Singlestack but still feels a little chunky. 6 (?) or 7 (?) rounds. Not sure about the basepad but seems to have less pointy edges and looks more rounded than the USP. Never carried one so can't comment on how they tuck away. Pull trigger go bang action.
P245: DA/SA, that's all I know about it. Decock only. Pull trigger go bang then stays on single action.
USP45 may be short on sight choices...you have novaks and maybe Heinies and defninitely Trijicons. Not sure about the Glock 36 and P245.
so, you need to pick one that 'feels' right for you hand, rent it and shoot them all...if possible.
Then makes your choice and pays your money. Get a good IWB and belt, buy a lot of ammo and learn it well.
Of the three, I like the SIG 245 best. Cause it fits me and I like the size. The Glock 36 would be next on my list, mainly because of size...though I'd have to have the grip redone for a better fit. Athe HK is nice, reliable, accurate, but not small enough for my Concealment tastes. But each has their own set of parameters to decide and choices to make. Whichever fis the hand and the wallet best.
You have narrowed it to three excellant ones in a proven cartridge...so you really cannot go wrong with any of them.

I'd go USPc 45. I much prefer a full length grip (I don't like shooting guns w/ my pinky hanging off), I like the 8+1 capacity of the USPc 45, the external safety/decock lever, the ambi-mag release & the trigger variety to the USPc.
I've shot the P245 and G-36. The P245 shoots as well as a P220. The P245 is about the size of a P228. The G-36 is smaller, lighter, and thinner. But, the recoil is increased and the muzzle flip is noticable. CCW only- get the G-36. CCW/Range/Home Defense- get the Sig. Note- the Grip on the P245 is pretty short. Try it before you buy it.
