1, 3, and 4 are standard concrete bits. The 2nd one is a rebar cutter, for concrete with rebar in the hole. The last one is for Tapcon screws and fits the driver.

I think the drill fluting (flighting/spiral) is just a means to deliver the drilled material to come to the surface. All are carbide masonary, concrete or stone bits. Simply size and length required to drill for attachments, plugs/anchors, screws or simply access holes. All can be used in a standard drill.

Use the top one when you want a twisty bit. Use the bottom one when you want an even twistier bit.

If the carbide cutters are in good shape and cut I would use either. If your Bosch is a Bulldog Model like mine it needs SDS bits. Unless of course it has been retrofitted to use standard bits. To save the wear on the bits and if it doesn’t make a mess use water to aid the cutting process.
