Which specific 3M line are you deciding between? Suntek carbon isn't the top of line film from suntek (I believe cxp is), so make sure you're comparing the same "level" of film from 3M vs suntek. Also make sure the film is either ceramic or carbon.
All that being said, I got my car tinted at place that 3 tint brands, Suntek, 3M, and Llumnar. I had a hard time deciding between the 3, like you. But the guy who owned the shop told me all three brands are good. That's why they did the same price no matter what brand film I choose, bc the difference in cost is neglible. The owner also said that the shop has a lifetime warranty on any brand film they install against peeling, fading, bubbling, color changing, etc. as again, they all perform about the same.
The owner did recommend Llumnar if I want the highest possible heat rejection but in real world use, I wouldn't really notice a difference between any of the three brands as long as I'm choosing the top of the line from each (Llumnar CTX, Suntek CXP, and 3M Crystalline). I ended up with Suntek CXP 45% tint all around plus a 20% tint strip on the front windshield. 45% isn't too common and wasn't offered by the other brands (at least at the shop I was at)
