why would a fan need a 3 and 4 pin power plug? Which one would I use and why?

Hi DEW - the 4-pin power plug is to receive power to spin the fan from the power supply. The 3-pin is power is used to detect rotations per minute (RPM). You can use just the 4-pin if you want but many case modders like the ability to measure RPM for ambient noise testing.
