As I can't always get fresh veg, would I be better off using frozen or
tinned from a nutrition point of view?
Also, which veg tends to be best, again from a nutritional point of view,
when used for cooking?
Thank you.

Frozen vegetables lose vitamins in processing but not as much as the
canned ones.

Broccoli and its relatives like cauliflower and brussel sprouts have
the most nutrition, but they're not available canned. Carrots are a
good complement for vitamin A (carotene) intake. Use sweet potatoes
instead of regular potatoes to get more vitamins. If one has to use
canned vegetables consider sweet peas and carrots.

Col appears to be comatose.
You and your fellows [censored] need a brain transplant.
You have my condolences.

Actually I misread your post as asking whether you should eat more
vegetables if all you could get were frozen or canned. That's why i said
yes.
As to which vegetables, by far the most important criterion for nutrition is
variety.
