All are possible in appropriate situations.

1. This is an implied conditional. (e.g. Would you be there on Monday if we made all the arrangements)

2. You're just inquiring him about the future.

3. Same as #2 but sounds as if he's got a plan to be there on Monday. (i.e. Do you plan to be there on Monday)

Thanks. That was very helpful. I think number two is my choice because as you said I am just inquiring about the future.
