Overall, I believe AC is a more efficient setup. Don't ask me why, but thats what I've read/heard too. It is also much better for regen setups (again not sure why). Almost all OEM electric cars are AC.
I don't think three phase 110V motors are too prevalent. Three phase is normally used in more industrial setups and they generally run 240V or higher. Single phase 110V would be any 'ol motor you can plug into a normal wall socket obviously. Finding one large enough to power a vehicle may be a problem.
