Hello Barel,
I think out of all the places you've listed that Clapham is the place that I'd rather live in.
It's a really nice area of London now, I've got friends that live there and I visit them pretty often.

There are great bars and restaurants, there are also some great club nights that take place in the area.

It'll be great coming up to summer too as you can spend weekends on the common and there are festivals planned there this summer too.

Definately move to Clapham, you'll love it.

I've lived in Clapham and know someone who lived in Brixton.... the choice between them depends on what you want. Brixton is likely to be cheaper as it still doesn't have as good a reputation for safety or for good places to go out. Clapham has lots of bars, restaurants and clubs and is considered "trendier" particularly towards Clapham Common tube station. I think Dulwich is less well connected via public transport, so I don't think this is as good, depending on where you need to get to for work/study/etc..

Clapham 1, Brixton 2, Dulwich 3 (although if you are on a tight budget this may be reversed!)

Enjoy your stay!
