All three are outstanding.

As far as I know the UC matte K is compatible with the UT grays.  I have
used it with the UT inkset, and it is what I recommend for people who are
having trouble with Eboni.

The main difference is the it is warmer than Eboni.  I can see the
difference in some of my shots with the near-black, heavily-filtered skies.
In these situations I do prefer Eboni, but the UC Matte Black is an
excellent ink and what I'd use if Eboni caused me any problems.
