First, all three don't "help" mail get delivered, they help
prevent others from using your domain to spam people. A subtle
difference.
The interaction between SPF and forwarding depends on whether
the mail is forwarded or re-sent. See:
http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Forwarding. My experience is that small but growing number of ISPs are refusing to
set up auto-forwards for e-mail, due not only to SPF but the probability
of forwarding spam (resulting in the ISP's server being blacklisted).
Not noted on the page you linked to (from 2005) is that DKIM and
DomainKeys are not the same thing, but that's a question for a different
list.
