It is better to use a 3-wood when the grass is cut or mown and the ground is hard which helps the ball to roll. The 3-hybrid is used majorly for off the fairway or out of the rough (where the ground is damp or soft.) This makes the 3-wood more suitable for pro-golfers and the 3-hybrid for amateurs.
