Well, assuming you still want that ESC, here are the answers to your questions:
Will it get hot on 3s? Depends. Current is what heats up ESCs. As long as the motor current is kept reasonable, it should be fine on 3s (or higher). But, on 3s+, I'd run an external BEC.
Hard to set up? A little clunky, but not "hard". IIRC, the setup is the same as the Quark 125B, and I've never had problems with it. Most of the time, I set up an ESC and then keep it that way. If you're gonna be fiddling with settings all the time, it can be a PITA.
Positives: If it's anything like its bigger brothers (80/125A), it runs
any motor smooth as silk. I would add a heatsink to help with temps.
Negatives: Support may be a problem.
I like Quark, but a Castle ESC may be the best bang for the buck.
