Default 3 pt vs sleeve hitch?

Looking for opinions. Having an 1872 it might be nice to occasionally use some rear mounted equipment. Box blade ect. I have no hitch at this time. If we leave cost out of the equation which would you rather have. 3 pt or sleeve hitch. It seems that there is more sleeve hitch attachment out there that are easier to get my hands on. Cat 0 stuff seems a little harder to come by. When you look at price for a new unit from Extreme Motor Works ect that seems to really swing the decision towards the sleeve hitch. I'd love to have a 3 pt with a PTO but can't really justify the cost right now for something I won't use a lot. If cost were no object I'd opt for the EMW 3 pt with rear hydraulics and get one of his log claws ect. But alas That's not in the cards right now.
So what are the pro's and cons of each. How about issues of leaving say a back blade on while using front snowblower.
