The all have their uses. Queue is used in situations where priority doesn't matter. EX: A printer taking orders simultaneously.
Priority Queue is more useful in situations where some people do have precedence. EX: you create a database of patients at a hospital. Some are going to be of a higher priority than others. Unstable patient > stable patient. There are probably better examples but you get the gist.
Circular Queue's only advantage is having ease of access to the first object in the queue and last object in the queue. If you are concerned about that then you use it. I don't have a useful example. Maybe others will comment with better examples.
