3 Teams is best for a very good reason...
If you have two teams there is always the chance that one team can completely dominate. If you have 3 teams it allows for two of the weaker teams to temporarily form an alliance to dethrone the dominate team.
This always worked well in DAOC and if you look at at the other 2 team games often there was constant balance issues that would damage long term morale of one weaker team thus fueling bandwagoners to reroll on the more powerful team. This would then just make the issue worse.
I say go with Good, Evil and Neutral. Just be sure to not allow X-Team heals and such because that was the inherent flaw with servers such as Talon Zek.
