The Three Valleys is an amazing area. Well deserves its top reputation in my view.
Val Thorens is over on one end with Meribel in the middle valley and Courchevel at the other end. It is a high resort and can be bleak, especially early in the season.
When do you have your trip planned for?
Personally I think Meribel Mottaret is the best village for a central location in the Three Valleys.

Lively place ..the highest resort in the 3V generally excellent skiing but I don't think a resort for beginners . Not the cheapest place in the world but the skiing is great

Very early season then. So it is a gamble on the weather.
With a slow start to the snow being high up as in Val Thorens is an advantage although the snow making facilities across the 3 valleys is excellent.
If the weather while you are there is bad (storms, whiteouts, heavy snow) then being high up is a disadvantage as few lifts may be open whereas in the lower resorts there may be more available skiing.
It is a gamble either way.
Do have a look at Meribel Mottaret - which could be a good compromise in the early season with easy accessibility to all three valleys.
