I only have experience with the Deere e-hydro:

For a given gear range, A, B or C, and throttle setting, pressing a peddle down (F or R) slowly increases the effective gear ratio from stopped to slow to faster. The change is very smooth giving very good control. Backing up to hook an implement to the 3PH the HST provides precise position control. Let up on the peddle and the tractor is locked in position. Need to move forward or back half an inch and stop, no problem.
Another good feature is the Deere "load match". Pushing the FEL into a pile of gravel automatically reduce the effective gear ratio to maintain torque and prevent stalling.
