If you're on a budget, a 2.5" BB has a lot of pros including it being really cheap and coming with just about everything you need to clear 33" tires or 35" tires with some minor rubbing. Cons would be that it is a budget boost and you will not have the kind of flex that a coil lift would provide and depending on what 3" lift you're interested in, it won't come with all the extra components that would otherwise allow you to dial in your ride.
Now, if you've got cash to spend, a complete 3" lift is the best option I would recommend. The pros would be that you would plenty of lift to clear 35" tires and with all the extra components like adjustable track bars and control arms, you will be able to get tons of great flex and be able to dial in your ride. The cons would be the high price. If you were to get a lesser 3" kit (i.e. minus extra components), the pros would be that you would still get more lift and more flex but the cons would be the higher price and potential handling issues on pavement.
