Is there a simple way to explain when to keep an Ace and not 2 other non suited face cards (in DDB)?

Each pay schedule has it's own exact rules.

the general rule is from unsuited AQJ, hold QJ, and from AKJ and AKQ, hold the ace.

there are exceptions to both parts of that, but since you wanted a simple rule, I assume you're not interested in the fine points

Yeah, this is what I'd recommend for rec players. Ace only beats two offsuit high cards, except for QJ off.
