Does anyone have an opinion on which of these sorts would work best on a small array: quick sort, insertion sort, or selection sort?

i'd say quick sort. There's also a radix sort, but it wont be faster than quick sort unless you have a lot of data

Well, that depends on array's elements. If array is almost sorted, then insertion sort would be my choice. If quick sort is implemented recursively than, I don't think quick sort is good idea...
