I like the 4x12 over the 3x9- and probable have an equal amount of each (or near those numbers). my favorite scope had a 44mm objective lens- I sold it with a rifle as a package deal. My next will be a 42-50mm on the objective end.
The older my eyes get the more they appreciate the extra zoom on days at the range.
When hunting, letting down to 4-6x for the sit and adjusting from there is how I do it.

3x9x40 for me, I hunt on foot a lot and have never needed more scope even out west and in the mountains. I like the slimmer objective for carry and trimness. If I were to set up on stands more or spot more in open country I would change to more magnification.
It really depends on your type of hunting.
