The 310 is a Dreadnought style and has a louder, more bass sound then the 314 but still something that can do it all pretty well but it's a little more unwieldy when you are sitting down then the GA, more so if you are a smaller person.

The GC (312) is a small body. It has the least volume of the three but is very comfortable to hold and is light when standing for any length of time. If you are planning on doing mainly amplified stuff or small room acoustic, this may be a good choice for you as the GC is very balanced tonally.

You don't say what sort of music you play but here's my basic takes:
Rock, Folk, Country, strumming, Flatpicking = 310
Rock, Folk, Country, Pop, Fingerpicking = 314
Folk, Country, Fingerpicking = 312

You can use any guitar for any type of music but some sort of guideline is better then no guideline I guess...

Happy hunting.

All good info. I play mostly fock, folk, and country, mostly strummed (no solos and no real fingerpicking).
