I would go with the PIO for the time being. they will issue it for 15 years and PIO card holders are required to report to local police IF THEY STAY for More than 6 months. OCI would be good too..I am not sure if you could get it quickly. For my son, I applied for PIO card last year and got it in a couple of weeks..
Other than not reporting to police if the stay exceeds 6 months, I do not see any advantage for OCI (especially for a child!).

Good luck,
Toxsci.
