Thnner seal=less friction on the housing and therefore less wear on the housing. So goes the Mazda line anyways. The community is fairly splilt over which is better, but many people get the bigger seals when they rebuilt their motors because the common belief is that they withstand pings better than the 2mm seals.
Personally, after listening to both sides of the debate, I figure that with a rebuilt, the added wear of 3mm seals will not really make a huge impact on engine longevity. Ans if you have a turbo and lean out, the seals may just save your motor. If you do a search, you will find far more learned people than I talk about seals and their benefits/disadvantages.
