At most times, the best of the three to hedge AUD/USD (long) would be NZD/USD (short).

It’s because both AUD and CAD are mining economies. Their relative currencies are in competition.

I reviewed entire thing. My guess is it has to do something with pip to value ratio I think AUD/CAD has the either the highest or lowest pip to value ratio which will in turn effect the amount of risk being hedge and spread.
