They're all great movesets but I'd personally choose Metagross.
I'd choose Metagross simply because Clear Body could be useful in battles and your moveset is relatively balanced in terms of covering it's weakness.

If you do choose Tyranitar though, I'd maybe replace Stone Edge with Thunderbolt simply so you cover it's weakness to Water. Of course this is only a suggestion.

I'd avoid Garchomp at all costs aswell. Mainly because people tend to favour Garchomp and by now people will have worked out a strategy to take it out easily.

These are just my personal opinions though.

Um. Nobody puts special attacks on Tyranitar. Its a waste of it's stregnths. Maybe ThunderPunch but definitely not thunderbolt.

Some people will use specials. Yes, Thunderpunch probably is a better choice but I'd personally have chosen Thunderbolt, that's just me though.

TM87? I got TM32 :]
Is this for 4th gen OU or Ubers?
Cause Garchomp is banned in both 4th and 5th gen OU...
