What's the difference between these three forms of Restart?

What's the difference between:-
1)Doing a Restart from within the router's GUI, ie. clicking on 'Restart' at bottom-right of GUI page?
2) Doing a power reboot, ie. turning off the power to the router using the pushbutton on the rear of it?
3) Doing a factory reset using the recessed microswitch on the rear of the router?
One obvious difference between (3) and the others is that in (3) all of the user's configuration settings get deleted.
But what's actually the difference between (1) and (2)?
Is it the case that all three will have a negative impact on the downstream and upstream speeds? No matter what the cause, if there's a disconnect of the line between the router and the DSLAM, will the DSLAM and router always negotiate a LOWER downstream and upstream speed - and then try, in time, to hopefully edge back to the original speeds? With VDSL, how long might that take?
As far as I can see, all three ultimately will initiate the sequence Power detect >> Attempt DSL sync >> Establish Internet-level connection, as played out by the indicators on the front of the router. But will all three restart methods then have identical stats?
Which one of these three forms of restart, if any, will give you the automatically-appearing EZSO setup again?
