As for chosing to lower off instead of rap: rapping a fixed lead rope probably means I have to wait for the belay of the third to finish before I get the lead rope.

The second had trailed a rope that was already fixed to the anchor. So the leader could have rapped without waiting for the third to come up. And the third has to wait either for the leader to rap or the second to lower, so there is little time difference there.
