See

:help latex-suite

and search for CompileRule. In particular, the section on

Tex_CompileRule_format

provides information on how to specify which command to use to build
your document. You can specify your format directly, and you can
probably create a map to easily switch settings as needed.

I'm a little skeptical about whether you have a good reason to have
three different distributions. I'm also surprised that TeXShop is
bundled with its own distribution.

Ideally, you should just be using MacTeX (which is just TeXLive for Mac):

Moreover, if you use MacTeX, it will add a panel to your Mac system
configuration that allows you to quickly switch which distribution you
are pointing to (it just adjusts a symlink from /usr/texbin to the
appropriate distribution). If I remember correctly, it only supports a
couple of non-MacTeX alternatives. However, you may be able to use it as
inspiration for your own setup.

Likewise, you may be interested in this MacTeX FAQ question:
