Is bluetooth transfer speed slower than 3G for tethering? Will I be able to make use of my 3G fully using bluetooth or do I have to use USB?

IIRC, bluetooth maxes out at 1MB/S so you will definitely get better speed from USB (not to mention that Bluetooth will probably flatten your battery in pretty short order!)
