One type is from a bite of a flea that carries the disease. The spot where the person is bitten turns black and forms a pustule. The other type was carried by the air and came from a cough of an infected person ( like the flu). The people who got the plague this way died faster than the people with the bite.

How would you catch the three different types of black death?

In addition to the bubonic plague, there are two other different diseases caused by the same organism, called the septicemic plague and the pneumonic plague. The bubonic plague is spread by rats and fleas; a person gets it by being bitten by an infected flea. The septicemic form is the same disease, except that it has spread into a person's blood stream, where it progresses more rapidly and is more likely to be lethal. If the plague gets into a person's lungs, then the form is the pneumonic plague, and it can be spread in the droplets in the air when that person coughs; another person can catch the pneumonic plague by breathing the air.

Why would mercutio choose the plague as the curse for the houses?

The word "plague" has two meanings. "The Plague" is a specific disease, or rather a series of specific diseases: bubonic plague, pneumonic plague etc. On the other hand "a plague" is any rapidly spreading epidemic. The King James Bible, contemporary with Shakespeare, talks about "the plague of leprosy", and obviously leprosy and plague are two very different diseases. It is this secondary sense which Mercutio uses in his curse: he is wishing some unspecified epidemic disease on the Montagues and Capulets, not the specific disease called "the plague".
