I really like 3 strand for sheets on boats such as yours. Being able to splice lines back together after chafe is a great asset to the cruising man. Three strand is not a good choice for larger sloops, say 30' up.
At those diameters handling becomes a problem but with a broken sail plan like your cutter, the sheets are much shorter, so not a problem but a plus in three strand.
