There is at least a fourth you can add to that list that I know of,
iGO My way 2009 which costs £23.99 for the UK & Ireland version. It uses the same Navteq maps as the more or less similarly priced Navigon app.
I've looked at the maps of the TomTom app and the Navteq maps of Navigon and iGO and in all the areas I'm familiar with, the TomTom maps are superior in local detail to the Navteq maps (the TomTom map includes back lanes in an urban area whereas Navteq just includes the main named streets, for instance).
I can't comment about CoPilot as it cannot be installed on an iPod touch currently.
I haven't used any of them in a car but most reviews suggest the GPS in an iPhone 3G or later is not really as good as that in a dedicated car sat-nav unit, so none of them are likely to be as good as a standalone device.
I can only comment on the maps therefore, but from my limited experience, the TomTom app is superior, but it is also almost double the price.
