Hey Nate,
Listening to version 3. There are a lot of things i like about this mix. Vocals are great and so is the overall instrumental tone and balance.
Two things I'm not sure about;
1. The snare seems a little bit papery with not as much thud that one would expect around 200-500 hz. It also seems to be more prevalent in the side channels than the central channel which suggest to me a balance issue between the OHs and snare close mics.
2. The bass/kick balance seems a bit off - the kick is slightly over powering the bass - most noticeable in the drop section at around 2:45-2:50. I can't really put my finger on it (levels, compression or eq) but it feels discordant rather than harmonious
If you can tweak these two effectively then i think it will improve your overall balance.
keep it up!
Cheers, Simon

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
