Default Flaperons vs Spoilerons

Flaperons: where the elevator goes down and ailerons move up or vice versa helps slow down a plane for landing, also it helps for some aerobatics like tighter loops.

Spolierons for me anyway are for aerobatics like elevators, wall, etc. they help keep the wing stable during elevators and snapping when applying full up elevator.
