Comparing Type 91 AP Shell and the Type 3 Shell is like comparing apples and oranges - they do different things, so asking which is better is kinda moot point.

If you're heading out to deal with heavy-armored ships (Ru-class, we're looking at you) the AP shell is the go-to item. The Type 3 Shell is primarily anti-air and you should bring it only if you think you'll need that extra Fleet AA stat. Of course, if you're looking to fight installation-type enemies (Hoppou, Henderson-chan, Darwin-chan) those Type 3 Shells are great against them. Haven't had the chance to meet them yet, so I can't really give you much details.

For general purpose fighting, go with the AP shells. Save the Type 3 for special boss runs.
