What’s the difference between Titebond I, II, and III?

TiteBond I and II are somewhat water resistant, with II much more so than I, so indoor use is just fine.

TiteBond III is very water resistant, even passing the WBP type one test (again just barely).

Is wood glue better than epoxy?

Epoxy is always better than wood glue if you use wood glue you need screws too. If you use good epoxy and roughen the surfaces first, than the wood will break before the epoxy comes apart. I’ve never used epoxy on wood- but then, I’ve never glued wood to metal and such. Tightbond III has treated me well for decades.
