I personally really enjoyed season 3, it could have been better but it was still a great season.
It's pretty close but I think I enjoyed the second half of season 3 better, episodes like Home,
Clear, Arrow on the doorpost, This Sorrowful Life were all great. I also thought Suicide King, Prey and Welcome to the tombs were all good as well.
Stand out episodes from the first half would be Seed, Sick, Killer Within & Made to Suffer.
Walk with me and Hounded were also really good.
So, great season overall! Second half slightly beats the first half for me!

Seed and Sick , great openers . Walk with me (I think) was an awesome introduction to Woodbury (which sucked after that episode) Killer within speaks for itself . 5, 6, and 7 were filler and 8 was ok.
But the second half was garbage . Well most of it, clear was good , home was beyond anti climatic . I did enjoy prey . Finale was bad , some others I can barely remember

The only episodes from the first half that I was really enthralled by were Seed, Walk With Me, and Killer Within. Every other episode ranged from either mediocre to downright cringe-inducing.

A lot of the second half was mediocre , although I liked some talking episodes , like I ain't a judas and clear , every episode left something to be desired, and the finale left me downright pissed

Edit: I don't think Welcome to the Tombs is a great episode on a writing standpoint but I enjoyed it. I wanted Andrea to die and I thought it was sloppy the way her character was handled but it was a good surprise, as was the Governor shooting down his army, Carl shooting the kid, and Rick bring Woodbury to the prison. I think this is the first episode where I had no idea what was going to happen next.
Edit2: I'm actually going to change my mind to first half because even though I think there were better moments in the second half, there were a lot more worse ones. I want to kill myself every time I think of Andrea's cringe-inducing Woodbury speech in Suicide King. Also, literally every single character annoyed me to no end besides Milton in the second half.
Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

The second half, especially from Home+ I liked. The testing the waters attack on the prison, Andrea finally going to the prison, Rick/Michonne going back to Rick's town, Andrea escaaping and being on the run in Prey, the episode where Merle died too. On rewatches Welcome to the Tombs was an okay episode too, but as an Andrea fan...bit of a downer on that respect.

Not to forgot Andrea, when she arrived at the prison, I expected her to be finally back with the group again, not to be send back to Woodbury straight away and dragged her whole thing with The Governor even more.
And Allen, Donna and Ben, they could have been left out of the show completely. What plot did they serve? Ben standing in the background plotting with his daddy to overtake the prison, only to catch a bullet from Merle meant for The Gov resulting in Merle's exposure and demise. Allen being a complete arrogant douchebag only to be shot when he raised his gun on The Governor but couldn't pull the trigger. Donna was just there for some tragedy as a mother and wife dying, haven't we seen that before already?. The only purpose they had is being the only family this far to be shown to be wiped out completely and have some more character's based on the comic in the show. Tyreese and Sasha, they were just scared out of the prison by a hallucinating Rick to go to Woodbury, having some uneasy moments with the Governor only to return to the prison at the end.
There wasn't much character development, one of the things that made TWD so great.

It did have it's faults though. The prison didn't feel much like a home, but rather like a death trap. It was odd that they were fighting so hard to protect it when they lost several survivors to the damn place, when they seemed to be doing better on the road. And to say nothing about the zombie that eat Lori, bones and all.
That didn't compare to the second half of the season. The lowest point of the season. Filler dragged out in eight episodes, and it completely destroyed Andrea as a character. Only highlights were Maggie, the rest was utter shite. Honestly, I doubt I would have stayed on with the series if it wasn't for the excellent season4 trailer.
So short answer: season3a is the winner.
