So Many Jailbreak Programs, What Are the Differences?

[pprshell]

I've noticed there are a lot of different 'programs' to use or referred to.
Yellowsn0w, Redsn0w, Purplra1n, QuickPwn, Pwnage, etc.

My question is what are the differences, if any?
Are some of them just for Mac or PC?

How do you choose the 'right' one? Thanks!

Only tool available at this time for 3.1 is Pwnage Tool for Mac. It does work on the 3G and if you are Apple Unlocked, you're fine.
