Cheers,
There is one major reason not to use ePub 3. The OP doesn't know ePub well enough to use ePub 3 and that possibly includes making it backwards compatible. Going ePub 2 is going to be easier for a novice. TBH, there's no reason to use ePub 3 unless you are using some ePub 3 specific feature that you the book requires.

Cyberseeker since you are still learning, go with ePub 2. It's just going to make your life that much easier.
