FC3 seems pretty stable and fixes for problems are showing up fast.
OTOH, it's still a bit of a bumpy ride and if this is a production
machine FC2 still seems a safer bet.  You've got to decide how important
stability is to you versus the latest bells/whistles/features.

Depends again.  For a single machine, just downloading images/boot.iso
and doing an install over the network will probably take less time and
bandwidth than dealing with the CD or DVD iso[s].  For a few machines,
or if you just like to have the media in hand, DL & burn the isos.  For
a bunch, make a local mirror and install over the LAN.  If you go for
the isos, I highly recommend bittorrent. http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/
