RE: split finger vs. 3 under
For me, 3 under is more forgiving and accurate.
If it's good enough for Rick Welch, it's good enough for me !
Split finger is better for hunting because you grip the arrow and have better control of the shot.

RE: split finger vs. 3 under
I am still wet behind the ears when it comes to trad shooting, but for me three under is just not comfortable and I can't shoot worth $h!t with it so I use split and perfer it plus I am pretty positive that my bow isn't tillered for three under(chek-mate falcon). It seems to be louder with three under, IMO I think I would go with what ever is more comfortable and consitent for you.

RE: split finger vs. 3 under
There's probably some pros and cons to either one, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. You can find many excellent shots that use one or the other. Ricky Welch and Rod Jenkins are two of the better known pro's that shoot 3-under. Byron Ferguson, Howard Hill, Fred Bear, and Bill Leslie all shot/shoot split. Try both and see which one you like better.
On a side note, a bow that is tillered for split and shot 3-under, or vice-versa, tends to be noisier.
