The 3060 selection really isn't as black and white as you probably would like it to be. The coolers don't all function the same; some exhaust their heat out the front and back, others do just the sides. The case and fan setup should work with the flow.
3070 goes to EKWB and Noctua, due to a joint partnership with Asus. Just look up 3070 EKWB and 3070 Noctua.

Are cards with three fans better than the ones with two fans?

Unfortunately, this is similar to the 3060 thing - the answer is not a simple one.
One would think 3 fans is better than 2, but one of the quietest 3070s is a dual fan...
