Flu. According to CDC: "How flu spreads Most experts believe that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes or possibly their nose." http://www.cdc.gov/flu/keyfacts.htm

I would say the Flu is more common, although the others can be transmitted by air as well. The Flu has droplet particles light enough to float through the air, and when you inhale them you contract the virus. Chicken Pox and Hep A are usually contracted through physical contact with the infected, or items such as clothing that they have been in contact with. (Be aware that Hep A can also be contracted through contaminated food sources). Strep could also be contracted from droplet particles from an infected person coughing or sneezing on you.
