Dont fret over it. Main goal is to play ANY G chord at the correct time in the song. Later you can figure out what G chord either is the easiest to play for you when going from and/or going to the next chord, OR you can choose the G chord based on the sound you want to in relation to the songs arrangement and what the other members of the band are playing. For example, you might want the more open sound of the 4 finger G (root, 5th, root on top) for one part of a song, but then add that 3rd back on the 2nd string with the 3 finger G w/ the open B string. Thats when you really have fun is crafting what YOU want to hear and why, rather than just playing on autopilot. But once you lock in the reasons why you are choosing a specific G chord, it should make it easier to remember which G chord to use.
