Cure Confusion

[DADAKOTA]

Reading all the various recipes and am confused.  Pink cure, cure #2. cure #1, mortons tender quick, maple cure, etc.   Are some of these the same?  Are they used for different things?  IS there a thread that explains all the differences?

Thank you SIr.  Do ya'll buy several of the cures?

I just have the morton tender quick and cure #1 - figure those two cover most of the recipes that I would use.
