Hi Oscar,

a quick google search or a look at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_model
will answer your questions.
In short: the choice of the water model depends on the question you ask
from your simulation.
In addition, it may also depend on the parameterization of other components
in your system, e.g. if you are simulating proteins in water you may be
restricted in the choice of a water model.
