Quick Reply, Reply, and Reply to Thread are the same thing. They just open a small text box right in the thread that you can type into.

Reply with Quote does what I'm doing right now--it includes a quote from the post you intend to reply to. This is helpful in instances where many people are posting replies and you want to answer a specific question.

Reply with quote will quote an entire post. If I'm interested in replying to one line or one statement I will copy the line and paste it into my reply like this:


I guess I'll have to experiment

Then I will add opening and closing "quote" statements like this (the W was added to avoid technical difficulties):


I guess I'll have to experiment

This is what the final result looks like once the W's are removed:
