I have seen 99 Brett on several good teams. He can be expected to turn in a 2-4 WAR, 100-115 OPS+ season most of the time. The 100 Brett does that in his bad years and wins MVP awards in his good years. I think 99 Brett would be a good choice if you are not counting on him for the bulk of your offense. He will contribute more than Rizzuto but less than Appling.
As an alternative for 3B, if you don't mind the lack of speed and a RHB, you might look at 100 Ripken.
