Unless you're hosting VHDs and need maximum throughput (in which case use NFS), SMB is going to be the easiest to setup and maintain across those 4 platforms.
The Linux SMB implementation is decent and supports the latest version of the protocol (or close to, at least) whereas NFS in Windows ain't so great and is a bit of a pig to get working in my experience.
This. NFS on Windows is a real pain.
