So I wanna build a {R}{B} deck and a {W}{B} deck. I have three cards for each deck to choose as a Commander for each.

For {R}{B}, I have:
{Kaervek the Merciless},
{Mogis, God of Slaughter}, and
{Tsabo Tavoc}.

For {B}{W}, I have:
{Athreos, God of Passage},
{Obzedat, Ghost Council},
{Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts}, and
{Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter}.

Suggestions?

Tsabo seems like it can be insanely strong, I'd recommend him out of the options.

Teysa is really fun, keep people from attacking you

Honestly the best ones I could find. Everytime I would draw hoping for something good, boom. Another apostle...

But you filter out your apostles with the ripple right? Once Athreos hits you just explode into demons.

Why can't  {Tsabo Tavoc} have blue??

{Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts} is really nasty to play against. I hate her.

{Tsabo Tavok} sounds insane but I also like {Kaervek, the Merciless}. If only Kaervek was blue so you could {Hive Mind}...

{hive mind} doesn't let them cast, so no value there..
{possibility storm} makes you cast twice, as does {Knowledge Pool}, both work fine for Kaervek..
And if they don't want to: {wild evocation}, although that could be risky.

Kaerveck is super neat and deserves more recognition

I came across him while building an EDH around the lockdown that was mentioned in rules earlier. He seems to be able to be built around really nice, you just need to have answers for what they cast, whatever it is. In {R}{B} that seems doable. I was running low on build projects anyway :p

Tsabo is pretty underwhelming in my experience. Kaervek is fun as hell. Mogis is also fun as hell. My Black Red deck went through each of them as the commander for a time and I liked Kaervek and Mogis the best with Zmogis being my current commander.
