Helmed Horrors get a free immunity to 3 spells plus magic missile. If you were going to play as one, what 3 spells would you pick and why? (helmed horrors are constructs, in case you don't know)

Hold Monster, Wish and Miracle.

... I guess hold monster because they are immune, anyway?

What would be better than miracle and wish?

Disjunction, perhaps, if it is going to be buffed.

Didn't spell immunity work like SR:Infinite? Pretty sure Wish and Miracle aren't affected by spell resist.

Actually, both of them are. Also, helmed horror's spell immunity is special in that it isn't based off spell immunity, unlike every other instance of it as a special ability, so it can apply to all spells.

I'd go with miracle, mage's disjunction, and antimagic field. Wish is probably less likely to come up than miracle due to the XP cost; and even immunity to wish won't block reality revision, which can't be chosen as it's not a spell.
