Type 3 is cheaper and quicker to build, for one thing. If you want to build other items very quickly in your new province, like roads and barracks, then Type 3 is a good choice to begin with. Plus with it you can recruit a mix of factional and regional units. Type I will close off all regional units - and sometimes there are good ones you might want to use.
