A little time on Alta Vista reveals:

   nullary is more common than niladic

   nullary is used more in functional programming

   niladic is used more in relational query languages

   nullary is used in Kevin S. Van Horn's <xfuntional.h> library at:
      http://www.xmission.com/~ksvhsoft/code/fct_objs.html

I vote for nullary, unary, and binary.

<joke> A tempting alternative is just nary, which is English for
"not any". </joke>
