First, I know that they all can be used with the "speaking of" meaning, and
that といえば can't be used with questions/confirmations while というと can.

My questions are as follows:

  1. Are there any other nuances between them for the "speaking of" meaning? (assume I am also asking about the nuances in the later question)
  2. Can といったら be used for confirmation?
  3. Can the other two substitute といえば the pattern XといえばYがZ, where it means "Given X, you would think Y, but its actually Z."
  4. Can the other two substitute といえば in the XといえばYかもしれない pattern where Y is a counter to/restriction on X.
  5. Can the other two substitute といえば in the XといえばYぐらのことだ pattern?
  6. Can the other two substitute といったら in といったらない (and といったらありはしない)

Edit: Examples for each (other than 1, which is just asking for nuance for the
"basic" meaning):

  2. というと、まだ何か起こるんですか？
  3. おっとりしているといえば、聞こえがいいが、彼女は何をするものろい
  4. この作品が時代の流れを変えるといえば、あまりにおおげさかもしれないが、実際に見ればその素晴らしさがわかるだろう。
  5. わたしの得意なことといえば、ビールの早飲みぐらいのことだ。
  6. 花嫁衣装を着た彼女の美しさといったらなかった。

question
grammar word-choice nuances
The nuances between といえば, というと and といったら
1. Considering the phrases by themselves, it is hard (for me) to tell any definitely different nuances.

  2. Probably you have というと？ in mind. That is the only phrase to mean _What do you mean?_ / _Can you elaborate?_ The other two can be used as a one phrase sentence to ask for something that is naturally associated with the topic in the preceding conversation. E.g. Person 1 talks about 桜. Person 2 asks といえば/といったら?, urging Person 1 to give something that obviously pops up in mind by 桜 (expecting 吉野 for example).

  3. I think 3 and 4 are mostly the same structure: Xといえば, Y(だ)が where が means _but_. Both といったら and というと can replace といえば.

  4. Same as 3.

  5. Both といったら and というと can replace と言えば. It might depend on contexts.

  6. Neither といえば / というと can replace といったら.

You can include some examples if the above sounds inconsistent with what you
have in mind.

Other といえば constructions:

**Xといえば YがZした**

A topic X is mentioned in a conversation, which reminds the speaker that Y
did/was Z, where Y or Z is related to X. E.g. 結婚と言えば花子が最近婚約したって : _Speaking of
marriage, I heard that Hanako recently was engaged._ というと is not acceptable,
といったら is possible but slightly strange.

**XといえばXだが**

It express reservations on admitting the subject is X. E.g. このテレビはいいといえばいいが, :
_You can say that this TV is good, but ...(there are things the speaker is not
satisfied with)_. In this construction というと cannot replace といえば; といったら can,
but should be less common.
