In this particular case, I would choose L'istesso tempo (assuming you score is otherwise in English), simply because it is the most common musical notation I remember seeing. The other two would communicate what you want as well.
In general, though, I think fussing over Italian grammar for a score in English (or any language other than Italian) is perhaps misplaced. Words like "tutti" and "viola" (plural: "violas") have entered the lexicon of other languages, in particular including English. (Check a dictionary if you have doubts.) So, for example, if an orchestral score calls for "Trumpets" and "Trombones" it should call for "Violas" (rather than what-would-it-be, "Viole?") and it is perfectly acceptable to specify "tutti" for the violas as well as the violins in such a score (rather than the Italian-grammar-correct "tutte").
