sorted... Why have Darlingtons?

Actually 2.5V max @ Ic=3A according to the datasheet. If I was only switching 3A, I would probably use one of these http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1648222.pdf which only needs 1.8V.

I was referring to P-channel , when I need high side switch in low voltage (< 3.3V) design.
