Superman because he was the first. Batman because he was more plausible -- a gymnastically athletic guy with a utility belt with the needed tools, and using ropes rather than flying. Spiderman because he was the first kid/adolescent who wasn't a sidekick, dealt with teen angst and dating woes, and the first to really popularize the smart-alecky comments.

Eh, they were clean, sterile, and boring enough to meet the Comic book code of the 50's and 60's so they stuck.
