All of them are the same meaning.
yuujin(友人;ゆうじん) is a little formal.
tomodachi(友達;ともだち) is natural and is mainly used in spoken language.
shinyuu(親友;しんゆう) is formal and is used especially by close friends.

彼は僕の友人です。 he is my friend.
kare wa boku no yuujin desu.

ひかるちゃんは私の友達だよ。 hikaru is my friend.
hikaru-chan wa watashi no tomodachi dayo.

君は僕の親友だ。 you are my best friend.
kimi wa boku no shinyuu da.
