This is the standard old trust model from PGP 2.x and GnuPG 1.2.x.

For most people, they will not see a difference between these two.
Only if you are issuing trust signatures (tsign) will a difference

This is a no-trust model, where you set each key trust individually,
and there are no calulations necessary.

I can't answer that question in those terms.  I don't know what you
want to do, who the CA is, how the CA signs...
