I've had similar thoughts on the matter (regarding act3 vs act1).
If you go with relatively useful MF gear for Act1, I'd say 225% is pretty good (300% with NV is what I'm sitting at). That makes your ilvl63 rate 19.2%
If you go with 0 MF (for ease of comparison) to do Act3, you only have the 75% NV.. so your ilvl63 rate is 28.5%
It is a substantial difference, for sure, at around 9% more for Act3.. I guess it boils down to what you prefer and what you can handle. If you're dying more than once to certain affixes, perhaps Act3 is too slow. If Act3 is cake for you, then have fun.
MF has nothing to do with what ilvl items drop. That's completely and solely dependent on what act you're in. 0% MF or 400% MF, Act 1 will yield the same percent of 61s, 62s, and 63s. It's just that a lesser percentage of them will be rare if your MF is lower.
