Battlechest of course. Been playing it for more then 3 years now on Batlle.net and yeah, it still has a very large community so no problems finding dudes to play against. Most are very experienced but on the other end there is a constant flow of "noobs" and the game wont let you play with people much better then yourself to keep things balanced (for example, if you're level 1 you wont be able to play against someone whos level 20). Battle.net will surely keep you playing for some time, as there are may different strategies and some bonuses to unlock. As for the single player campaign, it has a great story and will last you (both Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne) at least 20 hours.
COH was a pretty great game as well, though it didnt keep me playing long. I played a few quick online matches, the campaign and that was it. It definitely is more strategic than Warcraft 3, and thus much harder to get into.
WiC isnt really a strategy game and for me - a long time strategy fan whos been around since Warcraft 2 - its a big minus. Maybe it'll be good for starters tho.
All in all, I think you should go for Warcraft 3. It's one of the best strategy games out there and you won't be disappointed.
Sorry for my bad English folks :D
