If memory serves, Bill Venables said in the paper cited several times here, that there's only one type of sums of squares. So there's only one type of "ANOVA" (if I understand what you mean by ANOVA).
Just forget about the different types of tests, and simply ask yourself this (hopefully simple and straight forward) question: Which pair of models when compared will answer the question you have at hand? It's not sufficient to just ask: "Is factor X significant?" It depends on what else is in the model you're entertaining. I think it's high time to retire the archaic concept of the different types of sums of squares. IMHO they are the biggest red herrings in Statistics.
