WPA is more secure than WEP, so you can discount the first 2.

WEP can be cracked in around 3 minutes - there's major flaws in the algorithm. WPA/WPA2 are much better...

You should really turn off "automatic registration" on your hub - that will stop any unknown MAC addresses connecting.

use WPA
enable MAC filtering
do not broadcast your SSID (also change name)
change passwords etc.
