In the context of a someone helping you with something, how do you thank he/she?

I was thinking "Danke für ihre Hilfe","Danke für deine Hilfe",or "Danke für die Hilfe". Which best conveys the meaning?

    These are all ok, though using ihre makes you talking to a stranger. It's okay for people you just met or likely never see again. E.g. when someone helped you climbing a train. Also okay for your neighbor if you aren't yet friends with her.

Danke für die Hilfe will always be ok, so you don't need to worry about "Sie" and "du".
