Any of the three can be effective for self defense. Hapkido and Jujitsu are similar in some respects, and of course Judo was derived from Jujitsu.
As a second degree black belt in judo I would say that either of the first two would be better because I believe they both involve learning to block strikes and kicks. A two-time national judo champion and Martial Arts legend in California felt that free-style Wrestling was the most practical because fights usually end up on the ground.

Does Hapkido and BJJ have many body throws like Judo?
Particularly at the lower ranks, the emphasis in hapkido is on kicking, striking, and joint locking. As a result, a judoka with a lower belt will probably be much better at throwing and falling, as well as being able to use his or her own weight and leverage to unbalance an opponent. The hapkido student, however, will probably be far more prepared for actual physical combat and be able to stage a larger, more effective range of responses. Although the same judoka will have developed physical abilities that will help him or her in a self-defense situation.

Should you take Kickboxing or Jujitsu or both Im 510 at 170pounds i want to learn self defense so i could protect my self in the streets and my friend told me it is a good exercise?
These martial arts have their place in a sports venue, but they are not very effective self-defense systems unless you are an advanced practitioner. The best self-defense systems are non-traditional eclectic systems that utilize gross motor skills. All the traditional arts rely on very well trained fine motor skills. But fine motor skills in an average person degrade more and more under high stress, fast paced, self-defense situations. Fine motor skills take years to learn. Gross motor skills are the motor skills you learned as a young child, and are optimized in high stress self-defense situations. If you want to spend years learning a traditional art, one of the better choices is Japanese (as opposed to Brazilian) Jujitsu. You spend a lot of time on the ground in Brazilian Jujitsu, and that's not wise if you find yourself facing more than one opponent.
Is Hapkido training painful?
Hapkido is not any more painful then any athletic endeavor. One thing that you will learn in martial arts is that pain is just pain. Most people stop when they feel pain, but thee are not always good reasons to do so. A good instructor is not going to put you into any situation that you can't handle.
