Fidelity vs TD Ameritrade vs Schwab

Hi all. Looking for some guidance. I've been investing using Robinhood for the last year (very minimal <$1500) and will have to move platforms when I start my full-time job in June. Would consider myself a beginner still, but aim to begin investing more regularly as I begin working. What would be the best platform to switch over to for a beginner, with minimal fees, and the ability to buy fractional shares. My options are:

- Schwab

-TD Ameritrade

-Fidelity

Thank you!
