Sentences starting with "As" or "Since"

Hi,

Would like to know how do you write sentences in spanish that start with a reason.

example:
As I am not well.....
As it is raining...
or

Since the train is late...

¿Qué son las diferencias entre de....... puesto que/desde/ya que?(¿o está allí una diferencia?)

Another similar one is "dado que....". I've heard it, but not sure how common it is. I'd normally use "como..." or "ya que...".

I've also heard that used, and it seemed just as popular as the others mentioned above.
