Bishop and Knight are better than 1 Rook, Rook is worth 5 point's in some books it's only worth 4 points !, but a Knight is worth 3 and bishop is worth 3 so it's 6 to 5.

having no pawns on either side, the rook is best because the worst you can get out of the situation is a draw. but with pawns, more often than not, I'll take the material advantage because of the flexibility.

i would say it is easier to handel a rook in the endgames, but it absolutly depends on the position.

i would pick rook.
