The strongest of the 3 is the tube joiner in aluminium. Such inserts are commonly used to join carbon tubes. You need to ensure the insert extends a fair way into the tube to spread the load at the joint. Also with pultruded tube, the insert cannot be too tight otherwise it will split the tubes. You will find Roll wrapped tubes are stronger in practice for this kind of application due to the extra strenthening around the tube.
