Hello,
I am confused after I read an article and watched a video of Musclefitness.
The article said that front press if the best exersice among these 3 exercise:Shoulder press front, Behind Neck Press ,Military Dumbell Press. It also states that although the effect of these exercise are almost same it's the front press which is best and one should only do front press and not other 2 because that would be waste of time and power. Also the video of Musclefitness stated that front press is the natural way of exercise in comaparison to back press because it reduces the chances of injury.
Now from my experience and what I know, I use to think that all of the above 3 are equally good exercise with little difference in their effects while front press stresses the front deltoid much more, the back press involves more of back shoulder while the military press equally stess the 3 heads with little more emphasis on lateral head.
Guys please comment ...and give any info regarding my doubts ....
What my shoulder routine for now is :
Military Dumbell Press/Shoulder press front / Behind Neck Press ( any one of them in a schedule)
Lateral Raise
Front Raise
Rear Lateral Raise
Upright Row
horizotnal row ( similar to back but I pull the rope towards my shoulder with arms keeping parallel..I have been told ots a good exercise for back shoulder)
Shrugs(for traps as upright row also targets trap)

That is the commonly accepted answer, behind the back movements are unnatural, stress you shoulders ,and can lead to rotator cuff issues.
read this thread, ignore the childishness, but there is some good info in it, take from it what you choose. http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/m_323162/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#323162
As for the rest of your questions, someone other than myself should address them.

I actually have an issue of Muscle and Fitness that addresses that very question. It said that all three are good exercises, but behind the neck is a big no no for those who have pre-existing shoulder injuries. It also said basically what you did as far as activation of different delt heads. Front presses for mostly front head, behind the neck to switch emphasis to the middle head, and dumbell stressed them each about the same with a slight leaning toward the middle head. I myself use behind the neck or dumbell cuz my front delts already get a pounding from my incline benchpresses, so I try to involve the side and rear delts a little more.

yea behind the neck press is a good way to screw up your rotator cuff

As are Upright Rows. Stay away from Upright Rows and behind the neck movements.

Do you have any info about this? I have never heard any problems with upright rows except for if you do them completely bent over.

Here's some stuff that relates:

I personally do Upright Rows because I think it is a natural movement, but I can tell my shoulders don't like it much when my elbows go above my shoulders, so I stop when my upper arm is parrallel to the floor.

Upright rows are definately an un-natural movement that can cause serious injury over time.
This being said, they are also a great mass builder and variation to add to your routine. I do upright rows about once every 4 shoulder workouts...just to keep them guessing. I wouldn't recommend doing them anymore than that.
