Not having heard either, I own a 3/2 combination and I think it allows better flexibility as well as potentially better sound. You get 2 separate power supplies/boxes and you can always upgrade the 2 channel amp if desired for the best musical match instead of replacing the 5 channel beast and starting over.

Go for the 2/3 combo. 2 channel amps almost always sound better for music.

Most likely you'd pay much more for the two units as opposed to the one. I would not be concerned with the different sound quality between the two. Just more legends. But you do want to check the power capability of the ywo alternative methods.
