I have been using on my Stihl 500i 36" Stihl RSF & RMF chain. Both full skip chains.

RSF when wood is clean as chisel working corner will stay sharp.
RMF when in dirty wood the sharpness lasting longer than a RSF.

So are you asking for an explanation of the terms you are seeing?
Personally, for what I cut and where I am, I was somewhat underwhelmed with an 066 36" combination and might suggest full skip tooth sequence might suit the saw better at the sacrifice of being a tiny bit jumpier in the cut with the bar buried in the timber. Plus, less cutters to file!

Full chisel skip tooth any brand is all you need for that. GLWS
