It's rather quite straightforward i think from those mode since you can list them down. Try out on your own to see what effect you get from various modes

However, here's the help you asked. I'm not too sure if your model is Stylus 300 over at US but this is what i found.

Your online lesson on your camera

Hope it helps.

Best mode is Tv, Av or Manual. P mode also can.

The modes you mentions are actually preset modes by the camera manufacturer for begainners and newbies. I would advice, Tv, Av or Manual to better understand how your camera works. Besides, It's digital. so worst come to worst, switch back and retake the photos.

Cheers

Tv = Shutter Speed Priority, Av = Aperture Priority, but some camera using S, A which carrying the same meaning. 1st, take your time photograph as much as possible using the preset modes. study how the camera capture the ISO, S, A, etc. then learn using Aperture priority, master it then only follow by shutter speed and manual (Aperture + shutter speed). remember, always check back your camera config after shot. learn from failure. hope can help.
masters, pls correct me if I am wrong.

There is no "best" mode. Use the mode that suits your shooting the best. If you have rather limited experience, the programme modes let you get started without having to dabble too much technicalities.

Aperture priority, shutter speed priority and manual manual modes gives you more control as you have partial or full input in operating the camera.
