The advantage of having triples is this: You can run more efficient/faster with smaller power. They handle great and parking is easier with the triples. (your third engine works as a compensator to the two outside engines.) Your overall maintenance/cost is lower with the smaller engines than the larger twins to achieve the same speed.
I have found that most people that don't like the triples have never had them, This is not a dig, just an observation from a person who runs triples.
As far as comparing the boats themselves, both can be great setups, a test drive is the best way to see what feels right for you!
