Also, what does the wipe Battery stats do? And rotate stats?
Thanks!

Wipe data/factory reset - Deletes the entire contents of the data partition (mounted as /data) - same as the factory reset option from within the phone's settings.
This will remove all user-installed applications (if you're NOT using A2SD) and settings, and reset all configuration to ROM defaults.
Wipe dalvik-cache - Deletes the /data/dalvik-cache folder (Will also be done as result of "Wipe data")
Wipe SD:ext partition - Wipes the ext partition on the SD card (mounted at /system/sd) - This is where user-installed apps will be if you are using A2SD, which you probably will be. If you do a "wipe data" then apps installed on the SD will remain afterwards but the configuration for the apps will be erased.
Wipe battery stats - Deletes power usage logs in /data/system/ (also done as result of "Wipe data")
I dont know what the wiping cache does exactly
