With a 3 inch lift you really shouldnt need to change driveshafts. The angle really isnt affected drastically. What type of wheeling are you planning on? Depending on the type of wheeling, that should be your starting point on which lift to get. All will work, but the quality of lift for what you want to do, is the biggest thing to look at.
On the 2007-2011 the driveshaft will catch the transmission pan and rip the boot, causing it to fail.
On the 2012 and UP, you have to replace the front driveshaft. Exhaust clearance issues as well as steep driveline angle.

That may be typical, but I ran 35"s on a 3inch lift and had no issues. It wasnt until I went to 37's and lift was around 4 inches that I killed both shafts. I had over 10k miles on the 3inch with 35's
You are the experts though, so I will go with your info moving forward
