I'm not entirely sure of all the differences, but what I am learning is it is best to go "as-Cake-as-possible" to get everything to tie together. It's worth persevering until you find the solution. One thing I do know is that if you use $form->input everything is wrapped up in a div. If you use $form->label etc it isn't which means you have to do it yourself (more code/markup etc = bad!).
