If we're only looking between the 3 that you provided and only using a ticker that all 3 brokers have access to, TD Ameritrade is definitely lowest cost because it is free comms.
However, considering TD Ameritrade's ridiculous account approval times, you might wish to go with Tiger Brokers (1.99 usd per trade), since your trade size and frequency is small. IBKR is probably not a good choice for you since they have an inactivity charge.
If you choose the use TD Ameritrade, you can DCA every month since the comms are free. However, if you're using any of the other options, you can try every 6 months instead to spread out the comms instead.
