Nick, Developing time of 2 minutes is standard for all three of those
developers. However, going up to 5 minutes will not hurt anything and can
increase the clearing of the print prior to rinsing and clearing in any of a
number of acceptable clearing baths. The composition of the developer is less
important than the strength of the developer. A dilute developer will produce
an image with more contrast but one with more grain.
Have fun with your testing.
