There's a listing of the button types here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSButtonCell_Class/Reference/Reference.html
including which of them are deprecated. The difference between
NSMomentaryLightButton and NSMomentaryPushInButton appears to be that one is
"lit" when pressed, the other isn't. Both are "pushed in" when pressed.
It doesn't say here, but I think that "lit" only applies to buttons with
template images incised into them. This was introduced in the Leopard release
notes, so I expect you might find in that document a description of what the
various combinations are intended for.
