Hello Lee,
Yes, APRX is a nice program but it's only a server. No GUI, no maps, no mechanism to send messages/responses, etc.
As for Direwolf on the Rpi3.. the Rpi3 doesn't have a micrphone jack so you'll still need another sound device. The $7 Syba USB devices are considered well supported.
Ps. The new Direwolf 1.4 has added it's own AX.25 v2.2 (not just v2.1) stack. When used with the AGW interface, it's a complete solution and you no longer need Ldsped!

APRX works well as an igate and/or digipeater, and it's very small thus putting a very light load on the Pi. I have an old model B, though, so your Pi3 may not care as much about that. I also run ldsped on the Pi so other APRS clients can access the radio/TNC. I have 2 prolific based usb to serial adapters. Both would eventually freeze up after continuous use on a 7x24 igate. Switching to an FTDI based adapter fixed that. Lastly I think the Pi3 has its own sound chip, so DireWolf may be a good solution for a TNC, and it also supports igating.
