Which RTS should I get?

Hi, I wanna buy a new RTS game after playing Warcraft 3 for almost 5 years.
I want one where it's easy to play in multiplayer. Warcraft 3 was nice because Battle.net was working perfectly and it was always easy to find a group, and never took more than 2-3 minutes. I don't care much about the single player aspect.
I want a RTS where games last between 20-35 minutes in average, kinda like Warcraft 3.
Right now, I'm hesitating between :
-Warhammer 40k
-CC3 Tiberium wars
-Company of Heroes
Which one is the best for multiplayer? Should I consider other RTS than these three?
Thanks for your recommandations!

Have you downloaded the demos of those games? I've been played demos of all those games and was also in beta for CoH. I liked CoH a lot. The tiberium demo was kinda lacking/shallow, so I don't know if the real game is better or not.

It's just kind of the nature of Command and Conquer games to be fairly straightfoward. I have only played Warhammer 40k of the games that you listed...but I've always enjoyed the game and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a solid RTS that doesn't go overboard with micromanagement and multiplayer battles can be pretty spectacular. I would also highly recommend that you buy either one or both of the expansion packs to Dawn of War...if you can only afford one of the two, go with Dark Crusade...it brings two new races (Tau and Necrons) as opposed to the one (Imperial Guard) brought in by Winter Assault.
While I've never played Company of Heroes, I have heard a great deal about it and it sounds like a great game...I think if you end up choosing between Dawn of War and Company of Heroes, you will be very pleased with both games, you may want to consider which type of game you would prefer, Company of Heroes is a World War 2 RTS, while Warhammer 40k is a Sci Fi game through and through...ALTHOUGH Company of Heroes does sport slightly more polished gameplay and graphics, but they are similar games because they are made by the same people.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
Is it fairly easy to find a team ?
Also, does the server put you on a team and oppose you to a similar team, like Warcraft3, or you choose your own team?
Is there ladder?

Sorry dont want to hijack the topic
Micromanagement is really important in this game. Let's say you play Allied, and engages 2 StuG's(Mobile anti tank gun, non rotary turret) with your sherman(Main battle tank, rotary turret). Without micromanagement, you're dead. With micromanagement, you destroy the two StuG's without taking any damage. Tanks got different armor ratings on front, sides, and rear end, so positioning is cruicial here.
Another example: The enemy got an MG squad placed in a house right next to a strategic point. You got two rifle squads. Send them both in from the front, and they'll die. Make one squad take cover in the front, and let the other squad approach from another angel, and thereafter throw a grenade in the house = you win.
It's easy to get some games going in CoH, and there is a ladder system(Win alot of battles, and you're rank will increase - Loose alot, and you'll get demoted).

It is the perfectly balanced RTS...it has a good variety of units and buildings, resource management that's important but not tedious, and each race has a very different look, feel, and presence on the battlefield.
Pluss it was the first truly great RTS's

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War No contest!
its awesome as hell!
Do a lot of people play Warhammer? I always heard it was good but never picked it up because I figured the online population would be small.
Me and about 4 friends play through Lan, and we play it religiously.
I'm an avid Space Marine player, where my friends find there interests in other races like the Orcs, Imperial guard, Necrons, and the Chaos.

lol, Tau are pretty good, i heard they got nerfed pretty bad in the most recent patch...
If you can round up some good anti-infantry units you can hold them down or crush them. But the Kroot are just so bad ass.

two sets of broadside battle suits, three crisis battle suits, pathfinders, two sets of fire warriors, both heroes, two hammerheads, three skyrays, one greater knorloc = complete and total ownage of absolutely any army in the game.
