All of them can be used in microwave, as far as I know. But the question is which one should be preferred?
What are the pros and cons on the basis of which we can decide which one to prefer?
Out of microwave safe bone china, glass, and silicone wares which should be preferred for heating food in microwave?
Can there be a speed difference w.r.t heat reaching the food in the vessel due to its material?

Yes, there's a difference in the intensity of microwaves reaching the food depending on the container.
I found, and reffed a few numbers for material's reflectivity and transmission of microwaves in this question: Should I cover food while reheating it in a microwave?. Turns out that between metal glass and plexiglass, the plastic has the best properties with reflection of 16% of microwaves and transmission of 83% to the food inside the container.
There don't seem to be a lot of studies of this effect, so I can't say which of bone china, glass, or silicon would be preferable, but you could probably get a pretty good idea by placing empty containers of each type in a microwave for a minute or two, and seeing which remained coolest.
That material would have the least absorbance.
Similarly, heating a few hundred ml of water in containers of each type for a minute, and measuring the final, non-boiling, water temp would tell which material had the best transmission.
You want the container that a) does not get hot by itself, and b) heats water to the highest temperature in a short period of time.
