I agree with the 3750X as it appears "on paper". As always with a v1.0 Caveat Emptor... Of course this wont matter when in 3 months when the IOS gets its first .1 release :)
If it is power redundancy you are after then your 4500s certainly give you that. Then again you say you are using 3 x switches in each stack. That means you would have a whole 4506 taking up all those RU (with two empty slots and no no failed supervisor redundancy) when your 3x3750X will be taking up far less real estate! With "supervisor" (stack master) redundancy too... My cursory pros & cons list leans me towards 3750X.
