In general, when we calculate groups like Ext and Tor, how should we choose between free, projective and injective resolutions?



For example, why does Hatcher 3.1 only consider free resolution but not the other two? Is this simply because we can find free resolutions for abelian groups?

    When we consider abelian groups, free is equivalent to projective since $mathbbZ$ is a PID

    Projective resolutions are "dual" to injective resolutions, so we are often "free" to use both. So the answer to the title question probably is: "We decide by convenience".
