I would go 4 also, but wouldn't piss my money away with a power "conditioner"...
A 4U isn't significantly bigger than a 3U, but allows for add-ons that are actually funtional - like a wireless receiver or a compressor...
Here's mine:

In the past I've had 6 space racks full of gizmos (the wood ones with the aluminum edges), as well as all tube heads in similar roadcases. I currently use a 2 space rack bag and wouldn't have it any other way.
