Understanding image type for EVE

Hello colleagues.
I am new in EVE. Could you tell or give a link to the explanation.
What is the difference between the images :
dynamips iol qemu
What kind of images to use for laboratory work? How close are they to the real image of the equipment?

Now I am using IOL images. They are somehow universal, and it is not clear to me whether these are real images or not. Is it worth using them or is it better to use others.
root@eve-ng:~# ls /opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin
L2-ADVENTERPRISE-M-15.1-20140814.bin
L3-ADVENTERPRISE9-15.5.2T.bin

PS. I am preparing for the ICND2 exam, so this may make my questions seem strange. But I want to understand the EVE-NG and use it correctly.

All IOL L2 switches are actually L3 switch image.
So all L2 is L3 switch for IOL
