It would really depend on your preference. By far the easiest to write script for downloading/uploading from/to would be pastebin, as they have a very friendly API. As far as hosting an OS? Dropbox lets you manage folders, so you can organize your files easier. I have never used GitHub because it is complicated and hard to write for. It does have more features, such as forks. That way, new versions can be checked on and bugfixed easier if you are working in groups.
Again, it would all come down to preference in the end.

If it's really big and requires collaboration, github. If it's going to be short and simple and you're the only one working on it, Pastebin. If they're are only 1 or 2 people working on it and you're planning to do lots of updates and you want something easy and automated, dropbox.

Github is for big projects(5+ People), Dropbox is for a project with a few people(2-4) and Pastebin is mostly there for letting people easily get your script. I personally have a Github downloader and find it very easy to use since I have multiple branches for different version(Stable, dev, etc.).
