I was curious why there are iron pipe fitiings and compression
fittings? Seems like plumbing would be easier with one type{compression
or pipe} of fitting. So in what situation would you use compression
over iron pipe and vice versa? Are compression fittings designed to
take more water presssure? Thanks.

Do you actually mean iron? As in *iron pipe*? Or by 'iron' do you mean a
soldered rather than a screwed fitting, but both on copper pipe?
