I must admit (and no offence) reading the title of your thread as well as the content I thought you must be a newbie around here, but not so. plenty of threads around re T3 and the excellent lounge options available to GCHs. I would take T3 any day over T5 purely for the First lounges which I find nicer than the CCR too,

BA have confirmed in a video iirc that a First Wing of sorts will open in t3. This is going to be some kind of shared facility with AA. I think they also mentioned improving the t3/t5 connection system, though without any specifics.

I'd give CX & QF a go for sure. Give yourself enough time and you could try both.

Triple Agree with secretplantofightinflation! Lounge Hopping is in order... QF has a gin bar.. Great meals in CX. Though with the Dim Sum, I prefer to walk to the business side and create my own dipping sauces and carry them back to FC lounge.... Best Potato Chips(Crips) in BA & AA. Best shower in CX!

certainly from a lounge perspective, you will have access to AA, BA, QF and CX (which is one of the best in the Oneworld network).
