Crisp (default setting) - Results in slightly sharper edges than the the smooth option. A good happy medium between none and smooth.

Strong
- Makes text appear heavier than the smooth option. But not like using a bold.

Sharp
- Makes text sharp, but somewhere in between strong and crisp.
That's a very concise and useful summary of the different font options. I usually add type and then try all the font settings one-by-one to see which one looks best.
