I'm not sure which bucket I'd be in. I'm totally capable of having an internal monologue and do it all the time when I'm writing or thinking of what I'm going to say. Basically whenever I'm thinking of expressing things in language, then I think in words.
But I don't do it all the time for everything. I'm looking out the window right now at the ocean and it's a nice sunny day, but I don't think to myself "great weather today, the ocean looks nice"; I just internalize that concept/feeling without thinking in terms of the words or language. And I certainly don't sound out the words in my head as I'm reading something; I can't even imagine how much that'd slow me down when I'm trying to take in large amounts of text quickly. If I'm really trying to read something carefully then I guess I do that to some extent, but that's not normally how I read.
