Nucleophilicity depends on the three factors mentioned above.

CH3S- will be the most nucleophic as S is more polarizable than Oxygen. Also alkyl group attached increases the electron density on Suphur.

Acyl anion is a good leaving group and hence a weak base. So it will be a weak nucleophile.

BF3 is an electron deficient species hence it is a elcetrophile not a nucleophile.
