Loadrunner actually does have a 3270 interface now so it can drive terminal traffic to a mainframe CICS application. I believe it can simulate multiple users using a tn3270 emulator to access the mainframe application.
No matter what tool you use, the real work is in developing an accurate workload. You have to make sure you have a realistic transaction mix and you have to get valid data to feed into the scripts. This usually involves data base queries to generate lists of valid acct numbers, etc. Then once you get it all working, you have to keep the data and the scripts current.
