You might want to over simplify things at the moment but try to think beyond the implementation time. The answer to your question depends on various factors like how you will manage your catalog (adding, removing or editing common products) on all the three site, price variations, number of warehouse (one warehouse per store or just one common warehouse for all three stores) etc.
I think the general tendency of keeping same products on different websites for a single organization is to attract customers to a particular site offering lowest rate :) The idea I believe remains the same, sell as much products as you can.
