    Useless, once your 301 redirect all the value will be passed on. Plus, you shouldn't make three sites about 1 subject or niche, concentrate on one.

    Precisely. Either redirect the other domains to the actual site, or change your DNS settings on the other domains to redirect them to the primary domain.

    Dan has given you the correct answer but let me reword it just a little.

    Pick the primary domain and use that then "park" the other two on top of that one and 301 (permanent) redirect them to the primary.

    I think that explanation might be a little simpler for you to accomplish since cPanel offers all those features.

    and the most important part! Domain2.com is 301 redirected to Domain1.com.

    That makes it clear to the SE that you are not publishing duplicate content.

    Regardless if you 301 redirect or not if the domains don't recieve type-in traffic or have backlinks producing traffic and link juice whats the point anyways?

    You are ok if you 301 redirect.

    You are doing this because you have same domain name with different extensions ? for example

    yoursite.com
    yoursite.net etc?
