Can you explain these three options in more words? AIUI #1 is
"syntactic sugar to manage a patch series", like quilt(1), but I'm not
sure I understand #2 and #3.

For git, 'stashing' can also be implemented by a temporary branch («git
checkout -b foo && git commit -amm && git checkout master»), which
changes some of the values of the table. I assume the same is true for hg.

Unfortunately the text/plain rendering of that table is quite lossy.
The part I quoted are the column headings; the row headings are
"general" "stored where?" "stored how?" "changelist integration" "pop
vs. apply" "access in other cmds" "merge & conflicts".
