Don't bother with Xtender or Xecutor1.  Details on the other two families can be found here: http://www.xbox-scene.com/bios.php

A 1.0 BIOS will work on a 1.0 Xbox, 1.1 BIOS on a 1.1 Xbox, and a MultiVer will work on both.

Every BIOS size is currently 256K, but it can be duplicated or combined with other BIOS binaries to combine a single larger image.  You might have 2 x 256K X2 BIOSes and 2 x 256K EvoX BIOSes.  This would be the same as 1 x 512K image of each.  You can combine different BIOS images so you can easily switch between them.  This is typically more a luxury than it is a necessity.
