Default Pneumatic fastener question (part 2 from T-111)

OK... The info from the previous post is quite clear... go with a
framing nailer for T-111 hanging... But here is another question I have
come up with from browsing all the pneumatic nailers out the
What the what!?
Brads I get... for small, fine woodworking, tacking, etc.
Finishing nails... bigger than brads, longer (just a tad) and heaver...
but there are 2 kinds angled and straight... then you throw in the
crown staplers (seem like they are finish nailer with an attitude),
framing nailers (all the types; rolled, straight, full head or clipped
head...)

Does anyone have a nice resource that lists the type of fastener and
it's use? Or anyone have the time to make such a list... I'm sure the
vendors could clearly explain why I need one of each type... but I'm
looking for the general use of these different fastener technologies.

I'm lost in a sea of pointy wire things that all seem to look basically
the same and need help figuring out which does what!
