IMO, you do not NEED aftermarket LCA's for 3" lift. But, I recommend cutting out part of the shock mount to allow more droop. Actually, whether you do or do not I recommend it, give you that much extra travel. Adjustables make it that much easier to make changes to alignment. Something with a bend and/or offset end will help with extra travel as well.
If you are certain that you are not going to go taller, or plan on using CA drop brackets/ long arms if you do go higher. Go with a fixed lower and an adjustable upper, if you cannot afford both.

With a correct length fixed lower, your axle is set in the correct position. Adjustable upper allows better caster/pinion angle adjustment.
I would avoid RC, except for MAYBE CAD brackets.

I have the IRO adj uprs and fixed bent stlye lowers on my 4.5" lift. I love IRO, they make a great product.
with only a 3" lift you don't really need c/a's but it is recomended that you atleast get fixed lowers.

Talk to Iro and Ask about flex joints in them I don't know if they do them but I must say they are a good company except the long arms thoughs are junk.

Mines was the same way. Every xj is different when it comes I a lift. My new IRO LCA moved the axle a few incessant forward and centered it in the well. Do the lift and see what you need as you go.
