Answer

We want compounding interest.

Work Step by Step

With simple interest, you pay interest based on the initial amount of the loan, while with compounding interest, we pay based on the current loan balance. Since you are going to continuously pay the loan balance down, the amount of money you are paying in interest will go down if the interest compounds but will not if it is simple. Thus, you want compounding interest.
