Here are some SP3 hotfixes which I recommend you install
KB941214 is simply to resolve some issues from the SP3 upgrade, ie. A new client.msi, add/remove programs performance issues for starters.
KB953027 is to add the XP SP3 platform to the enviroments tab for the program, so if you wanted to just deploy to XP SP3 machines, you can do, also adds other platforms Vista SP1 etc.
KB938759 is so you can distrubute files over 500mb
Here is the info on which new SP3 classes in the sms_def.mof give you info for which reports.
