BillboardGui

- ImageLabel for neat looking "abilities"
- Is not as great anymore since particle emitters is out

- Creating tags above players,
- Custom Healthbar
- Player Titles
- A gui hovering above players that you can interact with ingame

SurfaceGui is pretty much similar except that you can fit text into a part's surface,

- You can make small "papers" with a message scaled one of the surfaces.
- Like billboardGui, you can make interactive GUIs, except this time it's on part surfaces.

SurfaceGui's can be used to make UIs have a more 3D feel - while other games like ROBLOX Dodgeball have a part sized up with a SurfaceGui holding an image as the background, as a player floats across the screen doing an animation.

BillboardGui's are more frequently used for things such as name tags that float above the head, etc.

Decals & Texture > SurfaceGui if the purpose is to only use Image backgrounds

SurfaceGui > ClickDetectors if the purpose is to make 3D UIs

SurfaceGui > Decal & Textures if the purpose is to stack several image on top of one another
