Not strictly true. An "em", being defined as the width of a lowercase "m", would vary with the size of your text. Increase text size, and the indent increases along with it.
I prefer 1.5em. While % works well for reasonable text sizes, it tends to break down at the extremes. At small text sizes, 3% takes looks a bit much, while for really large text sizes, it can be hard to visually make out any indent at all.
