What are the cons and pros of using GDnative over C# in Godot 3.0?

GDScript is still the main language of Godot 3 (and btw got some syntax sugar with the new release)

That's not what I am asking, I am asking generally which language should I use to script. I know you can use both C++ and C# but which one is better?

Yes and I just wanted to mention that there is not only C# and C++.

Yes I know and I am only interested in the difference between C# and C++?

If you want to program in C++, that's fine. If you need to think about speed and memory management, C++ is the way to go. Of course, it's more complicated, and you will have to deal with compilers and IDEs. With regards to C#, it's a typed language that's a bit more forgiving. Though, you may not be able to get all of the features of the Godot Engine through C# (I can't remember if C# support has been fully implemented in 3.0).

Now if you just want to use the editor, with all of its features, go with GDscript.
