Basically, Bukkit is what plugin developers work with to bring you those cool, new features that make your server awesome. CraftBukkit is what we've made so that you can use those plugins with the official Minecraft server.

A recommended build has met our highest requirements and testing for release and we believe it to be bug-free. A beta build is considered stable but has not received the amount of testing a recommended build needs.

A development build is any changes in between the other two types of builds. These can be highly stable or highly unstable. Vanilla: Vanilla minecraft has no support for plugins. A "vanilla" Minecraft server essentially means that it is unmodified and is in the original format direct from the creator Mojang. You can download this version directly from the Minecraft website. CraftBukkit: CraftBukkit is a modified version of the vanilla Minecraft server files.

The Bukkit team has modified in such a way that it allows for plugins to be used with the game. This is both a blessing and a curse. It is good in that you are able to use plugins to expand what is possible with a vanilla server and to make gameplay more enjoyable. However, since CraftBukkit and all plugins are created by third parties and are unofficially supported, there are bound to be bugs which can cause anything from lag to server crashes.
