I can't answer for AmE but in BrE if you were saying that it would be acceptable. To write it then I is the correct choice. For informal conversation that is what I would say - however I'm British not American so be guided by them!

The object pronouns, "him" and "me", are correct.

Dave PhillipsTo write it then I is the correct choice.

After the word "between" you need the object form of the pronoun, in correct speech or writing. "I" would be incorrect.
