Hi @Eshmeister, I've done S. Ban with both, and it's a long walk, but perfectly doable.
It was a fair old while ago, so I can't recall how long it took for the two, but I expect it was around 8 or 9 hours or so. I know I stayed overnight somewhere afterwards as I have a long drive and that would have been a killer!
It's a long day to do all three, but once you get onto the ridge, it's not difficult and it wouldn't really be worth not doing all three. I think I did them at this time of year too - there was certainly still some snow on the tops. The worst bit is the schlepp back along the old railroad line.
Doing the other Munro [S. Choinnich Mor] from the Nevis side is a good method too, rather than adding it in as well.
