Leucs are the best for groups, the others it's recommended you have sexed pairs, though I have seen them in threes.

Male heavy, females are the ones who can be aggressive!

Yeah I thought that at first, been researching and it seems that pairs are recommended more.

I'm going to be setting up a dart tank, going for leucs as they seem the best for beginners, although the other two are still good.

ok kwl so i will stick to pairs then apart from in the leucs which i will have a group fmale heavy, i am thinking of having the above three in the same tank, they will have plenty of space, would i have more chance of them being ok with eachother if i had just males?

I would not recommend mixing mate it can be very stressfull on the frogs also all of the above dart frogs you mention can be housed in groups aslong as there is plenty of room and keep in mind females are very aggressive to each other
