Well, it depends : if this is your first plugin, you might want to choose VST as it's quite simple.
Also, AU and VST are easier as you are free to develop for this format : do you have the Digidesign agreement to develop for RTAS or TDM?
The last point is the 'plugin idea' in itself : if the plugin is gonna use a lot of memory, forget TDM as there is not much memory on board.
Another bad point for TDM : you say that you're testing your algorithm right now.
If you are using floating point operation, beware you'll have to rewrite the entire algorithm for TDM (and fixed point math is tricky)
