what is the difference and use of freeze joint rotation and preserve joint rotation? which one do i pick? nothing in your tutorials explains this.

Freeze joint transformation is how versions prior to 2.0 work. All joints have zero orientation values with Freeze. All the rotation values are baked down to the joint orients. Some game engines do not support Joint Orient, so the values need to be preserved on the joint rotations.

I am not overly familiar with Unity so I cannot say for sure. I believe that Unity supports Joint Orients because this was the default from earlier versions of RRM and the couple of tests I performed seemed to work. So in the case of Unity, either option will probably work. Just make sure that if you want to share animations across multiple rigs, you use the same settings for all your rigs.
