I understand your view here and I don't disagree. My point is to firstly see
which of them
are being used in practice and then try to identify why. In certain instances
some of them
are more convenient/secure/etc than others, but when you know their popularity
you can
start thinking of other questions such as why would you need to configure both
PEAP and
EAP-TTLS for example. If providers are doing so there must be a reason and this
is what I
wanted to see.

I didn't want to find which one is the "best", because as you say this is in
relation to
the requirements of the scenario. I more wanted to see what do providers
eventually
support and what prevails in the real world (vs theory).
