My tinc knowledge is rusty, but I seem to remember:

1) router mode is the default
2) you probably want router mode

(So my advice is use the default mode (router?) until you encounter a
need that router mode cannot satisfy.)

And:

3) switch mode might be useful if you want to pass packets at the
Ethernet level.  (Whereas router mode will pass IP packets.)

I hope the above is mostly correct, and I hope it helps.
