I personally find Spanish easier than French, so I would vote Spanish as the 2nd. I actually found Italian to not be too bad either, but still found Spanish as the easiest of the 3, but I was biased since French and Italian came later in life.

Spanish has less complicated grammar than Italian.
Spanish for just one example has only two contractions
al and
del. a+el=al, de+el=del.
Now look at all the contractions in Italian.
il lo l' la i gli le
a at, to al allo all' alla ai agli alle
da from, by dal dallo dall' dalla dai dagli dalle
di of del dello dell' della dei degli delle
in in nel nello nell' nella nei negli nelle
su on sul sullo sull' sulla sui sugli sulle
con with col collo coll' colla coi cogli colle
Note: The only contractions for con that are still used nowadays are col and coi. But even these contractions are optional.
