Which WP Cache is Which?

It all depends on what caching engine you have installed on your server.

You need to first install a caching plugin for Apache or IIS or whatever, then download the right version for your PHP server.

I recommend the XCache version if you don't already have a caching engine installed. If you have dedicated hosting, you'll have to install it yourself. If you're on a shared server, contact your host and ask them what PHP caching engine they have installed (they usually have APC or eAccelerator already there).
 
i used shared hosting. can you tell, from this php info page, what caching engine is installed?
phpinfo()

by the way, i'm currently using WP-CACHE
how does it compare to your plugins?

Addendum:

just about says it. You'll need to ask your host to enable eAccelerator to continue.

NST's plugin accelerates the serving of all non-html-cached content on your site. So stuff that's not being cached by wp-cache, or stuff that's expired in wp-cache's cache will be served quicker with this plugin.
