All three can replace all three (Except for window motors, I learned that today). The only thing you need to be aware of is that to change from jags/victors to tallons you need to change the initialization in your code as well otherwise the output will get doubled. (40% --> 80%, 70% --> 100%). Jags and victors can be swapped without code changes.

Here's the 1 paragraph summary of the different speed controllers. Talons and jags are more linear, meaning that when you say "Speed controller give me 20%" it gives you closer to 20% than a victor would. This is only at low speeds though, above about 40% the difference is negligible. Talons are sealed so no peaky metal shavings get in them and fry them, however they will fry if you hook them up backwards because they have no reverse current protection. (on the plus side you can charge your batteries like this!) Jags can do CAN which can be used for cool features.
