Bob,
For flying, we'd not recommend 3-blade props unless you have a ground clearance issue. They just aren't as good as 2-blade props for flying. If you must have 3-blade props, make some for display purposes, but use 2-bladers for flying.
One main issue is that there is a very limited range of prop sizes in 3-blade types, and it's quite difficult to get a prop that's right for your engine/model combination. Besides, once the engine's running, you can't tell what kind of prop you have, anyway.
