As hard as you can maintain for all of them, it won't be dissimilar to ftp (theoretical ftp, rather than the actual power ridden for an hour) I imagine? Average power.
Power is a balance between velocity and force. And in my brain I translate that to how much I have to breathe and how hard I'm pushing. 360w @75/80rpm i could almost hold a conversation at the same watts but at a higher cadence I couldn't. So I train to ride at a higher cadence because that's my limitation. All of this is pseudo science reasoning of course. My brain is funny and I deal with pain by just boxing it up and pushing it away.
