If you compare all three, Gitlab and Github is very similar and Sourceforge the horrible mess. I'm not very deep into Gitlab or Github, but my impression is that since Microsoft bought Github they have added features to the free plan, that had only been available in the free Gitlab plan before. The biggest advantage of Gitlab is that is open source (if you really want to install it on your own server). It also has a better search. Overall I find Github a bit easier to use. They are both equally good options.
