The commentaries of madhvacharya, ramanujacharya and sankaracharya are not contradictory but complimentary.
Since due to the degeneration of moral standards of the society, they have looked into the veda mountain from different perspective.

1. Non dualism slowly became special dualism and then became dualism

Here sankara talks about non dualism that is brahman alone is the truth (eternal)..others are temporary.
This ramanuja told in a different way in special dualism jeeva and universe is the body of brahman. we all know body is temporary only.
Madhava also told about dualism and even in moksha also jeeva can't merge with brahman ..(may be due to the slow degradation of the jiva from paramatma state to jiva atma (and became irredeemable)

Madhava talks about nitya naraha because this is also due to the irredeemable degradation of jivas.Therefore even gods can't save them (i.e parama atma)..I feel this can be interpreted in this way ..some type of people will always be born and die without attaining moksha (may be this earth itself is nitya naraka as we see the state of affairs degenerating in mega cities)

If we see all are based on prasnanasthryam (i.e veda + bramha sutra + upanishad).all these are combined into Gita. Therefore here also he talks about three types of marga (BAKHTHI, GYANA, KARMA)..Here in any marga, if we concentrate on one personal god or one type of work only, we will progress. this was told by krishna to arjuna that even though other dharma is better (in seeing just like greener pastures) , it is better to follow your own dharma (with all types of mistakes also (kuraipaddulla nam dharmame sirandadhu).karma people should follow karma yoga.Like that bhakthi and gyana people should follow their own path.

You should not confuse the people with higher dharma since it is the duty of the people to follow their own dharma to attain moksha or evolution. Every living being will act according to their nature. Therefore they have to follow their own way of evolving. that's why we have countless births.

In all ways three commentaries never contradict hindu dharma but preaches within the precincts of hindu dharma only
