There is an excellent discussion here:

[excerpt from an excellent answer by Su.Ki., a respected italki member]
Remember this:
'Don't have' is always right.
'Haven't got' is sometimes, but not always right.
'Haven't' is usually wrong or very unnatural. You can forget about it.

The other two are fine.
