Makes all sorts of sense, and I'm sorry we don't have such a document for you. To be completely truthful, I'm not sure when we'll have it. Only thing I can suggest is simply to audition the presets with your source audio and choose what you like. In the end, that's the measure that matters.

To carry that a bit farther, the names themselves are descriptive up to a point. You know a percussion-labeled preset will be more diffuse so that transients don't rattle around. You know that a vocal-labeled preset will be less-diffuse, with perhaps a hint of discrete echo. But I'm not at all sure how I'd draw a meaningful text distinction between ElephantShoe1 and ElephantShoe2. They'll be similar, but depending on your particular snare drum (or Ophicleide) either one could be the preset of choice.

N.S.
