I find it much easier to play with the three pieces, personally. They control a lot of squares, and the queen always has to duck a fight with any of them. There is a game in "Tactics for the Tournament Player" (Dvoretsky) where Dvoretsky is playing Black, and sacrifices his queen for 2 bishops, a pawn, and some inish. 3 minors are almost always better than a queen, usually even BBPP is adequate compensation, though I wouldn't give BNPP the same credit.
