Need help regarding filter action choices

I am confused by the available actions that can be specified when setting up a filter. In particular:

1. Deletions

I may have a filter that detects mail that I never, ever, want to see. At all. I don't want to see it in the MW Inbox, and I don't want to see it in my client s/w (Outlook 365) trash. I don't understand the MW filter "Override delete" options. Can you explain each, and under what circumstances one would select one over another? (I am using "Auto-delete..." right now.)

2. Hiding mail

I also have difficulty with the "Hide email" options. Which option should I choose to make sure that mail detected by the filter ever shows up in OL?

Yes, if you want to never even see these emails, (they will still show in the MWPro recycle bin though for XX days, you can change how many days under Settings>>Recycle Bin) select

Spam slider to -200
Select "Auto delete this email"
Select, "Hide email".
