Good to me vs. good for me vs. good with me

Salesman: Are they any good?
A. Me: Yes, but only this one is good to me.
B. Me: Yes, but only this one is good for me.
C. Me: Yes, but only this one is good with me.

1. Suppose I tried a garment on, which of the above is the correct response to the salesman?
2. What is the difference in meaning between "good to me", "good for me", and "good with me"? Please give examples. Thank you.
3. Am I correct to use "is good"? Or it should be "was good" because the "trying on" is finished?
