I prefer wet as I think it puts the weight evenly on the bottom of the tire. It's tough to get enough weight on there alone to equal the calcium unless you have them inside or outside or both, stacked several deep and sticking out a mile.
I think water is also easier on the tractor because the water is only pushing down on the tread, not trying to pull the axle toward the ground. The water on the sides of the tires pushes down on the water at the bottom. I don't ever fill above 75% so there isn't fluid clearest the top to change your center of gravity.
The only time you will see me using a three point ballast is when I feed and have a bale on the back stinger. I am always off road with my chore tractor and I will not be banging the devil out of the arms with some huge box of rubble or something. If I feel like I'm going to have traction issues I put a bale on the back. I don't like things hammering around back there.
