SP - Static Pressure.  These are technically optimized for radiators, but the recent consensus is that they're just way more versatile in general.

ML - Magnetic levitation.  Instead of the normal ball bearings on fans, these use magnets for (theoretically) no friction

LL - Low noise.  Optimized blades, etc.

AF - Air flow.  These are technically the opposite pair to SP fans, and are to be used for everything thats not a radiator, but it really doesnt matter between the two if your aim is just general air flow.

 

Quiet addition, flow addition, pro literally are marketing terms, just ignore them.

 

I personally use ML120 fans in my case, and its just for general airflow.  Id recommend them.  I keep them at 50% rpm and with headphones on, theyre not really audible.

LL's are Light Loops and are focused on a wide range of lighting controls. 

Quiet vs Performance Editions are lower vs higher rpm versions of the same fan although some benchmarks have shown that QE's are quieter at the same rpm. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1342-page5.html

Where are you using the fans and why are you looking at Corsair fans in particular?

Performance Editions are loud and not worth using unless you give no cares about noise. 

The High Pressure label in the third link is just a mislabelling of the same Performance Edition from the first link but with a 3pin connector instead of 4pin for pwm.

The Low Noise label is just a translation for the Quiet Edition which is the lower rpm version of the fan in the first link.

AF120 PE's are slightly worse than the QE's in acoustics but they have a wider rpm range. 

These fans linked are generally not a great value and are often more expensive than similarly performing fans from other manufacturers. This is probably due to a combination of additional accessories in the box in the form of plastic rings, rubber corner dampeners, and the Corsair brand name.
