No personal experience, just an impression that the 3mm seals being heavier may cause more wear on the housing walls than the ligher 2mm.  I know they are used, but I have also heard that some milling of slots by some parties is less precise than needed.  But, if you are having good results - I certainly wouldn't tear down the engine to replace them. {:>) 
 
Thanks, Ed.
I thought that, if the new 2mm seals were indestructible, the the 3mm one should be about right for me. :)  I've discovered that the weight has no effect at all when the rotors won't spin :(
