Which type of bond should one purchase if they are planning on cashing it in 3-months: EE or I?

You cannot cash either in 3 months - the minimum is 6 months. For a 6 month horizon, I would go with the EE Bonds - they have a higher current interest rate, and probably will the next adjustment period.

So if you need it in 3 months, don't do it - but otherwise the EE should be better short term.
