Also makes the river decision easier if you get 3 bet after the c/r.

This is obviously true, but don't forget that this information has come at the cost of the big bet you are trying to save... in other words, if you just call, then you have a chance to only put in 1.5 BB postflop, but if you c/r and are 3-bet, then yes, the river decision is easier, but you've already put in 2.5 BB on the flop and turn anyways.

Just pointing out that this is really an incidental advantage to the c/r. The information isn't worth the price you are paying for it, so you still have to feel you are the favorite on the flop after he bets and like the way the hand plays out when you c/r for value, etc.
