Wedge frames are the most versitile. You can use any type of foundation in them.
There are plastic frames that are combination frame/plastic foundation. They are a bit cheaper but work just fine, although the bees tend to comb up the tops more because of beespace.
Plastic foundation is my favorite, it works great, is reusable, is almost indestructable(in a hive). The downside is sometimes there is a problem with bees drawing it out. Not a big problem if bought waxed.
Duragilt is a plastic sheet with wax pressed on either side and a metal strip on either side. Works good except if the foundation is cold, then the wax flakes off. Once it is drawn it is fine, except it isn't reusable. If a chunk of drawn comb comes off the frame and the plastic is exposed, the frame is probably wrecked.
Wax foundation comes with or without wires . The wires help with stability. Without wires you probably would only use it if you wire the frames . I don't. Wires can be hooked at the top or not (for the wedge to hold on to).
Foundationless - a frame without foundation, only an angled peice on top to start the bees out straight on. They don't always draw these straight, and/or draw a lot of drone comb. But it works sucessfully.
If you have wedge frames you can use any of the foundations. Grooved frames wouldn't work with hook-wired wax.
For the most part, they are all interchangeable (within size groups...deeps, mediums, and shallows).
I have all the different kinds, mixed up in boxes, and they all work to some degree or another.
