As an ork player, there is nothing I fear more than a 3 landraiders. I generally use CC to kill them, and it is hard to crack them with anything I have. A guy I play with regularly runs 3 in a Black Templar list, and they are crazy good. Their smoke downgrades all hits to glancing. He runs Assault termies in a crusader, and they are nasty, mostly because they are counter charge.

That said, I dont think you could run a pure shooty, take all comers list with LRs. The armies you can take them with do not really lend themselves to being able to outshoot every army in the game, especially with a 750point investment in what is, at most 30-35 shots per turn with lower strength weapons, or 6 TL laz cannon shots. I think if you want to run a 3 LR list, you have to balance shooting and assault so you can effectively tailor your tactics to your enemy. You are going to need to charge Tau and certain eldar and ork lists.
