The datasheet describes the various features & restrictions in each of the low power modes.

So you consider those features & restrictions, and see which mode best fits the requirements of your particular project.

In general, the deeper the "sleep", the more power you will save - but the less you can do while sleeping, the fewer options you have for wakeup, and the longer it will take to wake up.

Some of the lowest power modes will lose things like memory contents and register settings - which may or may not be a problem to your particular application...

Hello @StanCosgrove, 

Each mode offers different levels of power conservation and functionality, please check Getting started with PWR
