For me, Dialga and Palkia were very easy in both D/P and Platinum. Giratina was not, as it has a lower capture rate and it is immune to False Swipe (I was too lazy to bring something with Foresight or a similar move).

I used my Garchomp, I think. He was at a lv over 50 and killed him with Dragon Claw

I always caught the legendary on the box with a Masterball, so those were always easy.
I found Palkia and Dialga to be surprisingly easy to catch on Platinum. It only took a couple of balls for each, IIRC.

Palkia and Dialga were easy because of there catch rate being of a Chatot. And I got them within one try with Ultra Balls.
Giratina was harder, it took me 4 resets to get it with a Dusk Ball and 1-12 HP left with Paralysis.

Dialga was pretty easy but catching Giratina was a bit of a challenge for me. I almost ran out of Pokeballs and luckily I didn't use my Master ball.

Too easy, especially giratina who I caught with my 2nd dusk ball.
 
I don't remember at the moment, but I think I caught both Dialga/Plakia in ultra balls.

The Ghost typing Giratina has nearly made me rip my hair out after softsetting for natures and stats... Dialga and Palkia was easy, just because of the lack of a ghost typing... Also they have a catch rate of 45, while Giratina has a catch rate of 3... Yeah...

Quickball = 1 turn catch on Dialga!
He was ridiculously easy!
But then on the other hand, for Giratina it managed to feint 2 of my pokemon, but about 16/17 turns went by used a timer ball....no problem :p

Dialga and Palkia were nothing compared to Giratina!

...I still caught all three in Pokeballs, though.

Palkia and Dialga are supposed to be easy to capture, too bad I used a master ball on Palkia on my first play through. Giratina was hard to catch even after I put it to sleep.

Obviously, Dialga and Palkia were very easy to catch, due to their high-ish catch rate. Giratina, however was very, very annoying for me in Platinum. It took me about an hour to catch it, and I was even more frustrated when my brother caught it in ten minutes.
