You should only get the third sensor if you need it. If you're having tracking problems in apps/games that a third sensor will fix, then go for it. The value you get from the extra sensor is based on how long you keep the Rift.
With regard to sensors in the next generation, who knows. For simplicity of setup, and lower cost, inside out tracking is the way to go. Evidence is mounting that Oculus will switch to inside out tracking for the next Rift version, or use a hybrid system that supports both, during the switch over phase.
You'll find pages of argument for and against inside out tracking on this forum, but I've noticed that some old, vocal, die hard supporters of the constellation tracking system are starting to warm to inside out tracking.
So far..........
Rift Constellation Tracking 6DOF
Go Inside Out 3DOF
Quest Inside Out 6DOF
Rift (2,S,whatever) rumoured to have onboard cameras, but maybe also using sensors.
At the end of the day, it's up to you. I bought the third sensor and haven't looked back. (Well that's wrong. With the third sensor I can look back, before I couldn't)
