I would look into the functions that JES3 offers that JES2 does not offer, and if you need any of these functions then go with JES3. But unless you have a VERY compelling reason, then JES2 is probably the better and easier to maintain option (IMHO). I've worked with both, and JES3 can be challenging for JCL and for operators...
