I cheated on my boyfriend with someone he knows. Should I tell him I cheated, tell him with who, or not tell him at all?

You must tell him. This situation is more dire than cheating with a random person because there is a paper trail, so to speak. You don't know who the person you cheated with told, you don't know who they told, and you also don't know what version of the story is floating around. If this person knows your boyfriend, I am assuming that this person knew that your boyfriend was in fact dating you. Since he then proceeded to cheat, it seems that he doesn't have much respect for your boyfriend, and isn't going to try very hard to keep your secret. Finding out from a third party is ten times more hurtful than hearing it from the source. It causes a huge rift in the relationship because the trust is hurt, but it also feels as though other, uninvolved people, know more about the relationship than your boyfriend. Plus, it always hurts to be the last to know when something important in your life has happened. Moreover, coming clean in general is just the best idea.
