Build Selection - Rebuild Selection
Build Solution - Rebuild Solution
Batch Build

There must be a difference between build and rebuild. For some reason, it
doesn't seem to matter which one I choose, but I suspect there is some
underlying principle of which I am unaware. Can someone please elucidate?

It won't matter much with a small solution.
Build selectively rebuilds only those parts of a solution (or named project)
that have changed since the last build.
Rebuild unconditionally rebuilds everything in your solution (or project,
depending on whether you choose Rebuild Solution or Rebuild "project name".

Would there be any benefit for the person installing the product if I were to
use Build instead of Rebuild, or is it transparent on their part. I infer,
perhaps erroneously, that it may speed up their re-installation process if I
choose build rather than re-build. You have piqued my curiousity here. Is
Build analogous to a Patch, (as in MsiMsp.Exe w/ patchwiz.dll...) or are
these totally different objects?

and have nothing to do with installation of your product on a target
computer.
There is also no correlation to any post-deployment patching process.
As I said, the command selection will influence build time within Visual
Studio if your project/solution is large and only minor changes have been
made.
