With double-buffering, the GPU waits for the most recently rendered frame to get displayed before beginning work on the next frame. With triple buffering, the GPU starts working on the next frame after that in the third buffer and if that new frame completes first, that frame gets displayed next and the other frame in-between gets discarded.
Double-buffering yields the most consistent frame rate while triple-buffering can be slightly more responsive.

Which one is better is a personal preference. Double-buffer for the steadiest FPS, triple-buffer for the faster response rate. Some people prefer steady movement, others prefer the fastest response speed.

It is a personal preference. Triple-buffering discarding frames may get perceived as stutter due to non-constant frame time and some people are more sensitive to that than others.
