CONFUSED.. :(
I'm confused. When do I use these words??
- Ought to - like should, but my own rule is that there has to be some motivation behind your reasoning when you use ought to.
- Should to - as an obligation; "it's better if I do this", even though the choice is still there.
- Must to - This is a very strong obligation, as if your life or wellbeing depended on it.
Apart from ought to, modals like must and should are never followed by to. You ought to apologise. You should apologise. You must apologise.

ought and should = deber
To me "should" is a more proper way of speaking and should be used for writing. "Ought" is more of a colloquial speech.
must = tener que.

Ought to and should do are used interchangeably but note the difference between to/do which follows those words. However most english speakers will only ever use should. You can only ever say must do as well. There are no exceptions.
When you use the words will depend on the context of certainty. If you MUST do something you HAVE to do it. If you SHOULD do something you usually will have the option of doing something else.
