According to https://security.debian.org (redirects to 
https://www.debian.org/security) the second entry is correct.

The first one seems to point to the same place as far as I can tell 
(didn't look very deep though).

The third entry appears to be an alternate distribution channel and also 
supports https (in case it matters to you).

I'm using the third, mostly for consistency with the other entries.  
Updated packages have been available as soon as the DSA was sent to 
debian-security-announce.

The 'component' part ('main', etc.) should always match your other 
repositories.

[Rant]
It's confusing that Debian has several schemes for URLs and suites, e.g.  
compare:

    http://security.debian.org/ buster/updates main

with

    http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main


It would be less confusing if all repositories had the same URL and used 
only the 'suite' part to distinguish them ('stable', 'stable-security', 
etc.).

Hopping this will be fixed for 'bullseye'...

Kind regards,
