Differences between Xotic AC, BB, and RC pedals?

I have had a hard time getting a good description between the differences of them all.
What one do you prefer, and how do you use it?

IMO only (because I know people will debate this, and I agree it is very over-simplified):

AC=tubescreamer
RC=great clean boost
BB=Zendrive-ish, smooth, higher gain tone (somewhat Marshally)


Had the RC the longest...as I say, GREAT CLEAN BOOST.

Thanks for an idea on what each does best.

I run an RC Boost almost constantly. I use it as a light gain with a slight treble boost. On the RC if you have the treble knob at noon that's suppose to not color your treble at all. I have mine set to about 1 o'clock. While the gain is set to about 3 o'clock. If I'm playing my SG then I'll turn the gain down some.
