Short answer
Choose 3-in-1s for 24 books and lower shelf count; choose the three box sets for 72 easier-to-hold singles and original covers.
PanelPick recommendation
The 3-in-1 edition is the rational entry format. The box sets become the better choice only when cover collection and handling outweigh shelf space.
