Bibliography Styles

Looking for a way to reference web pages in LaTeX documents, I have found this page about BibTeX

http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/reference/faq/bibstyles.html
One issue I've ever asked myself is when to use those bibliography styles. Below is a list of these styles and some explanation about each one.
@article
An article from a journal or magazine
@book
A book with an explicit publisher
@booklet
A work that is printed and bound, but without a named publisher or sponsoring institution
@conference
The same as inproceedings
@inbook
A part of a book, which may be a chapter (or section or whatever) and/or a range of pages
@incollection
A part of a book having its own title
@inproceedings
An article in a conference proceedings
@manual
Technical documentation
@mastersthesis
A Master's thesis
@misc
Use this type when nothing else fits
@phdthesis
A PhD thesis
@proceedings
The proceedings of a conference
@techreport
A report published by a school or other institution, usually numbered within a series
@unpublished
A document having an author and title, but not formally published
@collection
Not a standard entry type. Use proceedings instead.
@patent
Not a standard entry type.
