The preferred prey item would be frogs.
What is optimal foraging theory?
It is a theory in ecology that proposes that predating animals that get the most energy from minimal efforts are favored by natural selection.
In order words, selection forces prefer investing minimum energy in order to extract maximally available energy.
In this case, the heron needs to use the lowest time to harvest the maximum energy possible. Since all the preys offer the same amount of energy, the one that requires the lowest time would be preferable for the heron.
In other words, frogs would be the most preferable prey.

Let's think about this question and ask our selves what is life?
Think about a non-living thing, like a bike.
Does this bike have kids? Does it need to eat or sleep? What is it made up of? What does it need to survive? Does it need to be able to sense the environment around itself?
You're probably saying, no the bike doesn't do a lot of these things.
Humans, animals, and pretty much all living things need to perpetuate their genes by means of reproduction, whether it is asexual or sexual.
We need to animals need to eat and sleep, but you can just categorize this as a metabolic process. Plants need Nitrogen and CO2 and sunlight, to undergo metabolic processes and make glucose (another metabolic process). We also must be able to maintain an equilibrium while conducting metabolism (homeostasis).
We need to be able to sense the environment around ourselves to survive.
If you look at simple organisms, they are often able to detect different chemicals and know to be attracted or stay away from certain substances.
All living things are made up of cells.
