I don't have any solid proof, that's why this is just  a comment, but I would think that normal arceus is the most used since it gets item  freedom. But any other Arceus can have it's own advantages.
I found that the fairy arceus type was used the most. I assume this is because of its great type advantages and because of arceus's natural bulkiness and power could be a judgement sweeper or a calm mind recover staller or sweeper. And since fairy's only weaknesses are poison and steel, arceus can counter them with focus blast and psychic or E-quake.

Arceus form usage differs depending on level on the ladder. This Arceus usage data is from the higher Ubers ladder.

Arceus-Normal

Normal
Free to hold any item and provides STAB and priority with Extreme Speed

Arceus-Ghost

Ghost
Takes care of the numerous Psychic and Ghost types in Ubers

Arceus-Water

Water
Easily handles the likes of Blaziken, Ho-Oh, and Groudon.

Arceus-Fairy

Fairy
Useful due to the ridiculous amount of Dragon types in Ubers, but there are also many Steel type threats.

Arceus-Grass

Grass
Mainly used for coverage against Kyogre, which few Ubers-mons can handle.

Honorable Mentions:

  • Arceus-Rock- quickly counters Ho-Oh and Reshiram and also offers a typing which is otherwise non-existent in Ubers.
  • Arceus-Poison- can absorb Toxic, allowing it to set up. However, there are many Ubers Pokemon that resist or are immune to Poison type moves
  • Arceus-Ground- Earthquake is ridiculously powerful, especially with a Swords Dance boost and made extremely useful now that Mega Mawile and Aegislash are banned to Ubers
  • Arceus-Steel- Can provide a Physical or Special set with an immunity to Toxic, allowing it to set up

Ye. I'm dum.
arceus normal
Arceus-Ghost is very used (in my opinion) for extreme speed.
