What is better for privacy? Signal or Telegram? I know XMPP is better then both of them.

Every messaging app has its own problems including Signal and Telegram. If you look here, you will be able to find posts on why some people don't prefer Signal/Telegram.

I would just recommend you to use Signal. At least their server side code is open source (some of the code is not like the new spam detection tool.)

Telegram is not really great for private communication. Also end to end encryption is not enabled by default and the server side is closed source. But Telegram is a really feature rich and powerful messaging app.
