What are the pros/cons to seam-sealed, taped seams, or neither? Why the difference?
I'm looking for "the best" 3-person, 3-season tent, but it seems that there are endless combinations of details out there. Anyone have advice on how to pick?

It completely depends on your use for the tent, hence the myriad of combinations. In all honesty, any tent should have a sealed seam. This keeps the tent waterproof, and if seams aren't sealed, moisture will be able to wick in overnight, even if it doesn't rain.You can either seal the seams yourself with a sealant product, or you can buy a tent with pre-sealed seams.Taped seams help eliminate some of the waterproofing issues, and are a good start, but a taped seam should still be sealed.Hope this helps eliminate some confusion!
