With regard to the WcR vs the WmR, I wonder if the tendency at least in the endgame is for the capture power to be more important offensively and the non-capturing movement to be more important defensively. I also wonder if unbalnced pieces in general tend to belong to the category of 'it's worth x, but you really should trade it before the endgame.' In the late endgame, an R4 might be superior to both WcR and WmR by a perceptible margin.
