I always frameserve out to CCE to do the encoding which is a top rate encoder.  Vegas' rendering isnt bad though.  To figure out the bitrate, use a bitrate calculator to enter your movie duration and audio settings.  It will tell you the bitrate you need to fit it on a disc.  3 hours seems like a good bit.  You may want to release this as a dual layer DVD.  Also, keep in mind, if you have motion menus, or any bonus features, that you will need to lower your bitrate some to accomodate these.
