Although both are great there is a big difference between two. Actually, there are at least 3 sub-grades of Grade A. I'll explain.
Grade A light amber has a very light, delicate maple flavor. Many people choose to use grade A light amber on ice cream or on food that won't overpower the syrup. Much like you wouldn't pair a light white wine with a big steak. Grade A medium amber, while more flavorful that light amber, still has a mild maple flavor. Medium amber, being in the middle of the spectrum, is often the default maple syrup that people buy. Many people, even in syrup country, have only ever tried grade A medium amber. As you might expect, grade A dark Amber has a deeper, more full-bodied maple flavor.
Grade B dark syrup has a deep, robust flavor, even more flavorful that grade A dark amber. Grade A dark amber and grade B are often used for cooking. Grade B is renowned by foodies around the world and is called for by a number of detox diets.
All of these are great on pancakes and waffles, which grade you use is an individual preference.
The difference in the grades of maple syrup has to do with the refinement of the product, the more refined it is, the higher the grade. To have the most nutrition in the product, buy the lower grade as it is not refined as much and more natural, but does not have a sugary taste.

What is the difference between medium amber maple syrup and dark amber maple syrup?
The classes of maple syrup are divided primarily by color and flavor. In general, the darker the color, the strong the flavor. The Grade A color classes go from light amber (Fancy), medium amber, dark amber (from light to dark). Grade B is darker still. A common misconception is that darker color means thicker syrup -- this is not the case. All pure maple syrups have close to the same density (typically 66-67% sugar solids).

How much molasses to substitute for 3 tablespoons of maple syrup?
Wow, molasses has a much stronger and different flavor than maple syrup. Sugar wise it depends on the grade of maple syrup, some are much thicker than others. Honey, golden syrup (cane syrup), corn syrup or simple syrup (50/50 sugar/water) are probably better substitutes.
