Lucky gets used after the roll, which means it doesn't get wasted on rolls that would otherwise succeed. And although Elven Accuracy applies to all rolls with Advantage, a lot of them will have succeeded anyway.  So the question is really how many attack rolls with advantage do you make that miss, per long rest?  I would guess for some characters on some days the answer is "more than 3", but it's more complicated than just "Elven Accuracy works on all rolls; Lucky only on 3".2. You mentioned in passing that Lucky can be used defensively, but I think this is pretty significant since that can include saving throws.  I would argue that, on average, succeeding at saving throws is more important than landing weapon attacks.And combining those two things, the question is: do you miss on attack rolls with advantage more than 3 times a day, and is getting a chance to re-roll those additional misses worth not being able to re-roll saving throws or attacks that hit you?(Ok, the +1 Dex makes Elven Accuracy win, though.)</blockquote>
