Whether I'd ever actually watch any 3D stuff on it is another matter. Besides which there is more outlay than just buying the TV, you need a 3D source (BlueRay and/or Sky) and the dreaded glasses.
If I wanted a specific brand and all of the sets they produced were 3D then I guess I would go ahead. However if there was a choice in-house of say a £1000 3D Ready set and a £1000 standard set I know which I would choose.
Better to have 100% of the build budget spent on stuff that I want than split it with some stuff that I'm not fussed on.
Tis better to have higher refresh rates you're right, but I would be sceptical personally as to whether I would notice much difference in sets >100Hz refresh rates.
Either way, Panny do make great sets so whatever you pick is probably going to knock your socks off
