Has anyone seen a Pretty Good web page or video showing the same image/animation rendered with all the different new anti-aliasing settings applied?

That would be very helpful wrapping my head around all the options of options!

In my experience, forget about AA passes and use just Adaptive Sampling. If you are using PR motion blur or depth of field, then leaven the AA passes with the motion blur passes.

What BeeVee said. Adaptive Sampling is far faster and better-looking than any of the older AA methods.

it depend of what you are rendering because you have to render with Perspective Camera to use the correct ASampling.
And Perspective Camera still a bit slower onto simple object because of Kdtree detection.
AA in lightwave need a lot of test to get the right value: fast and clean for what you do.
