of these three it is Varys who is the most useful to a cause. his little birdies make him the most well informed person in Westeros. He's also seen as rather harmless... by those who don't know better - and most of those who do are dead.

Tyrion... i can't see how Tyrion would help Dany - he's a Lannister, brother to the Kingslayer and son of one of the Usurper's pawns... she can't possibly trust him. He's clever, true. show occasional glimmers of brilliance (the chain for instance) but he will never be more than a hideously maimed dwarf. either to others or to himself. its his greatest weakness - and one easily exploited as much as he professes to not care.

Littlefinger though... you say he could make Dany unstoppable, then say your ambivalent about him. If your ambivalent, why include him in your list?
That said, there are few more dangerous players in the Game of Thrones. He has a large, un-fielded army at his disposal, and a virtually impenetrable fortress. His 'country' is almost inaccessable. And he has both the heir and the current Lord of the Vale in his pocket. (though Harry the Heir could very easily be in Sansa's pocket if she learns her lessons well)
He has so far proven the biggest winner in this game.
At Dany's side, he would be a case of keeping your enemies closer. He may profess loyalty, but he's just looking for a way to increase his own power.
