I have tried a number of NLEs and Final Cut Pro is one of the simpler,
more straightforward ones IMO. It's not really that big a jump-up if
you're already in imovie. The advantages would be as has been said in
better bin and clip management, which is no small consideration when
you're dealing with somethign this big. You get more audio tracks to
layer, more compositing choices and better graphics, thre ability to
nest sequences and hold many multiple versions and iterations that you
can compare and mix between.
On a project of this size, you indeed need to make the first rough cuts
at the digitizing stage, screening everything, but only digitizing the
best takes. Another consideration is, you could theoretically have
more than one person work on this at the same time, cutting one section
towards the end while you work on the beginning and things like that.
Such an approach will save time but create a certain 'feel" in each
person's work, unless all hold to strict criteria on style.
Three hour docs are not impossible: you just air them as three one-hour
chapters on successive nights or etc.
