When replacing 80 ft of old steel pipe which is fed from half inch pipe with copper is there any reason to use 3.4 inch pipe instead?

That's 3/4" pipe, not 3.4" prehaps it would deliver more pressure through the 1/2 inch pipe than 3/4 inch. 3/4" pipe will be less restrictive over the course of the run. Otherwise, no. 1/2" Copper Pipe will do fine, since it has a smoother bore, less restrictive, no lime and rust build-up. The only reason for you to use 3/4" pipe is if you want more volume. The pressure remains the same.
