must vs. should vs. need

hi all,

please tell me what's the difference in usage of these three verbs:
"must", "should" and "need". which way is more convenient:
- "he must do smth" / "it must to be done" / "i must do smth"
- "he should do smth" / "it should be done" / "i should do smth"
- "he needs to do smth" / "it needs to be done" / "i need to do smth"

thanks,
Alexey

I've responded to these already

A necessity

None of them have anything to do with convenience.
