I have no doubt the M3 Canon bests the M8 in terms of resolution, and I've been hearing great things about the newest Canon zoom lenses too, especially at the wide end.
However, having owned a 1ds2 for a long time and an M8 I think the times where the 1ds2 bests the M8 are rare in the extreme. The problem is mostly with the way the sensor interacts with Canon glass, but even with Leica glass on the 1ds2 at lower ISOs I like the M8 file better--again, given the right workflow.
Apart from the glass, I suspect that's mostly due not to resolution so much as to bit depth and better AD conversions in the M8.
Again, the 1ds3 is likely to be much better in this regard...I've only played with a 1d3 so far and for me the jury is out on digic3, but it always takes a while to get the best out of a camera, so I'll trust you on the 1ds3
