When you use a send, you ae sending a copy of the audio signal So in essence you are creating a wet/dry blend. This is useful for things like reverb and delays or other time based effects. When you put the reverb or delay on the aux track, you will want to set it to be 100% wet. Then the send level will act as the wet dry balance. Since the original audio track’s output is still going to the master fader, and the AUX’s output is also going to the master fader, the send level will set how much of that dry signal” gets pushed into the reverb and as a result how much reverb’ed signal shows up in the master fader. Chaning the output of the track to the AUX or bus, means you are sending all the tracks signal to a bus and not a duplicate of it as you would be if you use a send. A useful example for this use case is lets say you have 5 vocal tracks. You can set the output of those 5 tracks to a AUX or bus, and now you can just EQ and compress all your vocals and use that AUX/Bus fader as a master fader for the vocals. But since the AUX/bus is still being sent to the master fader you still get the vocals in the mix.
