> Would Groups or Categories work best

You would need to create 3 groups for permissions purposes. Then you would need to create 3 categories for the 3 ‘sub communities’

eg.  
Create:

Group 1  
Group 2  
Group 3

Then create:

Category 1 (for Group 1) - Category security permissions are: ‘Group 1 create/reply/see’  
Category 2 (for Group 2) - Category security permissions are: ‘Group 2 create/reply/see’  
Category 3 (for Group 3) - Category security permissions are: ‘Group 3 create/reply/see’
