Amiga 3000 or Upgraded Amiga 1200 (ECS vs AGA) --- Which should I use for daily use?

Sell them both and get an A4000. You get the benefits of having everything inside the original case, you can expand it just as much as the A1200 with Zorro cards to replace the Mediator and a Cyberstorm (PPC if you want), or even get a Mediator 4000Di and put PCI cards in your A4000. You also have AGA for all the games you want to play. So I really think the A4000 offers the best experience.

I just need the funds to purchase an A4000 and all the upgrades including a PPC604e for it.

Maybe I should sell my towered A1200 + A3000 + PC to get the funds.

Do it. You won't regret it. I used to have a great A1200 setup: D-Box, Mediator, Voodoo, Blizzard 1260, 128MB of RAM. I thought it was great, but then when I got my A4000 (see sig) it was so much better. It feels more "solid" to me, like it is put together as it was meant to be, unlike a maxed out A1200 which feels hacky and a bit unstable, like the Mediator could just fall off :lol:

Don't get me wrong, A1200s are a lot of fun. Buying loads of small upgrades and attaching them to the A1200 (and each other) can be very rewarding when it works. But when you want a stable, solid machine, you can't beat an A4000 IMO.
