Well, I have a couple of questions back to you on your implementation  
details.

1. What is your platform (PHP, ASP, JSP, etc)?
2. Are you using a CMS? If so what cart/plugin are you adding to the  
site?

Depending on you combined answers for #1 & #2 above you may have to  
first make some architecture choice. For example if you are using  
something like combination WordPress with a cart plugin you it may not  
support Amazon or Google. Since PayPal is the old standard which most  
cart software supports.

 From my experience, all three provide a rich API to use. Though  
PayPal is the only one I really that offers the Web Payment Pro option  
where you can accept credit card directly on your site. Google and  
Amazon at the time (last summer) forced the used off your site onto  
theirs. So you have a question of branding here. Though probably more  
secure. I only get into eCommerce about once a quarter so not  
something I keep up with. I'm sure by know Google and Amazon's feature  
offering are quite comparable to PayPal and others.
