Stats
These all eventually call on the core SPM routines like spm_fmri_spm_ui.m and spm_spm.m. What they help to do is clear a template with place holders which need to be filled in before the job can be run.

Batch
This allows you to create a chain of jobs. It's not yet clear to me if there is a natural (implicit) was of getting appropriate output of each job picked up by relevant ones that follow it and are dependent on those earlier stages.
Defaults
This is a vanilla set of tasks.
Sequential
This offers a step-through sequential menu prompting for the parameters of the selected task.
