There's lots of info on this already.
Basically, 3mm withstand detonation better, but don't seal as well. 2mm is perfectly fine if you have a good tune. If you are planning on huge power, with a very on-the-edge tune, 3mm might be a good idea, but far from neccesary. There are people making tons of power on 2mm seals. For the power you want, 3mm is nearly pointless.
