sysklogd is dead, and has been removed from the archive. You shouldn't use it anymore. rsyslog and syslog-ng are both featureful syslog implementations. rsyslog is the default in Debian since 3 releases now. It understands the syntax of the old sysklogd, so if you familiar with that, this is probably your best bet. As for all three enabled: That should not be possible: Those package conflict with each other. If you really managed to install all three of them, then you must have forced apt/dpkg to do so.
