I freshly installed LaTeX on my computer using the ProTeXt bundle. I was able to install everything smoothly, but the program TexStudio didn't auto-configure, like the manual said it would. Using Options>>Configure TexStudio>>Commands I was able to set pointers to most commands, except for dvipdf. I have three choices with regards to the executable for dvipdf (listed in the title of this question). Which one should I choose?

Short answer: dvipdfmx.
Longer answer: dvipdfmx is an extension of dvipdfm, enabling access to more PDF-specific features. As such, it implements a superset of the features of dvipdfm, and is more powerful. dvipdft is a tool to use dvipdfm to make thumbnails (according to texdoc dvipdft). As such, it's not what you want at all!
