When used in place of "very" they all have more-or-less the same meaning. "Rather" is quite old fashioned and posh sounding. "Reasonably" makes you sound like you're being logical. I'd say that "rather" is more enthusiastic than "resonably". I'd order the intensity like this: somewhat < reasonably < very < rather < extremely

"rather" is generally used when comparing 2 actions/ things.
ex: I would rather play basketball than do homework.
"reasonably" is mostly used to compare value/price. On the other hand is "reasonable" is used alone you could use it as good/ok in that scenario.
ex: That toy is reasonably priced.
That is a reasonable action.
OR
Yeah that's reasonable. (meaning that's good/ok)
