i cant decide weather to name my baby boy jayden jaylen or hayden pleaseee help which 1 should i choose 2 name him?

Definately avoid Jaylen- that sounds very feminine to me and incredibly trendy. Jayden has pretty much the seem feel to it. Hayden, although popular as it falls in the -aden trend (Aiden, Caden, Hayden, Braden, Jaden, etc) is the best of the least because it has some strength to it and isn't AS popular.
If you weren't aware of how popular those names were, and how many people consider them trendy and even think that some parents use them when they don't put a lot of though into a baby name and just pick something that sounds cool, then maybe you may want to consider something different.
Maybe...

ETA that if you do go with Jayden, I would spell it Jaden/Jadon which is the more masculine version and looks less trendy.

From those 3 - I like Jayden .
Here are some combos:
Jayden Ross, Jayden Troy, Jayden Marcus, Jayden Louis, Jayden Bryce, Jayden Bennett, Jayden Ashton
Jaylen Pierce, Jaylen Flynn, Jaylen Cross, Jaylen Vincent, Jaylen Chandler, Jaylen Scott
Hayden Alexander, Hayden Jonas, Hayden Timothy, Hayden Parker, Hayden Cole, Hayden James

I ran those names by my DH and he said he definitely thinks Hayden is the best of the 3.
A friend gave me "The Baby Name Survey Book" -- what people think about your baby's name (by Bruce Lansky)... In that book, when people hear the name Hayden, they usually think of him as strong, athletic and tough with a firm, muscular body. He could be a body builder or an army drill instructor.
So that would be a good choice. :)

I like Hayden best of the three, especially if you're set on those spellings.
I also like Jadon (this is the correct spelling), but it has a much trendier feel in my area. I know a bunch of little Jadons, but no Haydens. And I could be wrong, but I believe "Jayden" is the most common misspelling, and it is also popular for girls (in the 200s, while the proper Jadon spelling doesn't even make the girl list).
Jaylen seems invented and feminine, especially with the added Y -- again, these misspellings are very trendy for girls at the moment -- and nearly-lyn ending. FWIW, it also immediately brings to mind Jay Leno (add an O and there he is LOL), so definitely my least favorite.
