innerText vs innerHtml vs label vs text vs textContent vs outerText

I have a dropdown list which is populated by Javascript.

Whilst deciding what should be the default value to show on load, I realised that the following properties showed exactly the same values:

• innerText
• innerHtml
• label
• text
• textContent
• outerText

My own research shows bench marking tests or comparisons between a few of them, but not all.

I can use my own common sense and choose 1 or the other as they provide the same result, but, I'm concerned this is not going to be a good idea if the data were to change.

My findings are:

• innerText will show the value as is and ignores any HTML formatting which may be included
• innerHTML will show the value and apply any HTML formatting
• label appears to be the same as innerText, so I can't see the difference
• text appears to be the same as innerText but the jQuery shorthand version
• textContent appears to the same as innerText but keeps formatting (such as \n)
• outerText appears to be the same as innerText

My research can only take me so far as I can only test what I can think of or read what is published, can any one confirm though if my research is correct and if there is anything special about label and outerText?
