The value of the 3A is more significant in the short program as the ladies short does not yet include quads as an option. Also, the GOE for a quality 3A is boosted slightly so that a +2 on it means 2 points (versus 1.4 points for the other triples).
If a ladies skater can land the 3A somewhat consistently and fully rotated, it's well worth the risk and will almost guarantee that you'll make a national team barring any pops and the like.
