I'm leaving my pals at ATT behind to hang with their soon to (maybe) be bretheren T-Mo and HTC Sensation.
Would my iPho 3G be more desireable as a JB or still a slave to the T?
I can't imagne the used value would be any different, but which state would be more desireable?

JB and Unlocked should get you a bit more money. Not much, but it won't hurt. Especially for what amounts to 20 minutes worth of work on your part.

is there a preferred JB method for the 3G?

There are some cautions. I did a JB on my 3G in order to unlock it for T-Mo. Jailbreaking hosed my wifi which worked fine before. I have to literally hold the 3G next to the router to get a signal (for updates etc...) and sitting 3 feet away only get a single bar on the strength meter. It appears that this is not an uncommon problem, and I have not yet found a fix. YMMV
FWIW - I did my JB using Pawnage Tool & the custom iOS from iClarified. You will want to download Tiny Umbrella too in case you get stuck in recovery mode.

JB is pretty straight forward, but unlock not as much. Depending on what baseband ("modem firmware"--under the settings page) you have, it is impossible to unlock.

I found the unlock to be easy using repo666 from ultrasn0w. It was pre-loaded in the Cydia packages.
Somewhere along the lines I upgraded to modem software 06.15 (iPad software) trying to fix the wifi issue.
No issues with it, but there is no downgrading.
