The threat of CH (2),3 makes this much safer on whiff. Using this occasionally can also make your opponent afraid to challenge 1 on block, since they look similar.

qcb+3
qcf+3
qcf+3 is the better move in most respects, but it can be prudent to use qcb+3 and its extensions occasionally so that the opponent is concerned about them even with qcf+3, since they look so similar. That aside, qcb+3 can be considered more defensive given its pushback on both hit and block.
