My car handles far better with the 3S in it than it did with the 4A. You can actually use torque to influence the balance of the car and make it do what you want, it's actually more manageable with the 3S.
As to the 3S good for straight line but not for handling I'd advise you to take a look at the results of the MR2 Owners club NA2005 event. This was a US national MR2 event that also invited GT4's and Lotus Elises. The fastest two cars in the auto cross were 3S powered AW11's they were actually ~5 seconds faster on a sub 1 minute course than the fastest SW20 turbo. The fastest car on the road course was also a 3S powered AW11.
As to which is the better conversion, that's really a personal choice. I wanted a 3S because I knew I wouldn't be happy with a 4AGZE, I'd end up turboing a 4AGZE and this would have cost as much as a 3S swap. I really wanted a nice smooth standard Toyota engine that would make 150rwKw on stock management etc. Admittedly that's not what I'm going to end up with now but that's a different story.
