Hi,

The cans in the store do have enough info to tell me the difference.
Price
is at least 3:1. When to one vs the other? Want to patch some holes in
the
wall, from nail size to a 2inch dia.

Spackling is fine for small nail holes. Would not work at all for a 2"
hole. A gallon of ready mix joint compound will do it all.

BUT, that 2" hole is going to take some time to dry. If possible add a
backer board to mud over.
