On my laptop, I have 2 regular USB ports and one USB 3.0 port. Would it be more beneficial to use plug my mouse into the 3.0 port since its transfer rate is higher?

Does your mouse even support USB 3.0? If not then it's not going to do any better than being plugged into a regular USB port as keyboards and mice barely send that much data anyways.

No, your mouse won't support USB 3.0 so it'll run at 2.0 anyway.
Technical explanation:
A "normal" mouse will usually only support 16 bit / axis at 1000 Hz.
2 axes * 16 bit/axis * 1000 Hz = 32 kbit/s.
USB 2.0 supports 480 MBit/s (although in practice it's only 280 MBit/s).
So that's a serialization delay of ~0.14ms. No one cares.
Now there is one reason why you'd want to use USB 3.0 for a mouse:
To overclock it.
Why?
Because 8000 Hz sounds cooler.
