The B front tower has 4 holes which are half way between the holes on the kit A tower, the inside hole on the B tower is half a hole further in than the inside on A, the second hole out is half way between the kit's inner and middle holes etc...
I'm currently running the B front tower on the inner/middle hole, I found with the kit tower the inside hole felt a bit soft and the middle a bit firm - the B tower gives a happy medium between the two and seems to work best for me. It's a pretty subtle change and I would think most people will like the kit middle hole best
The two optional rear towers are optimised for the different holes in the wishbone. The A tower is narrower/taller and is intended for the inside hole on the arm, the C tower is wider and lower and is for the outer hole on the arm, the kit B tower is half way inbetween the two.
Personally I'm using the C tower with the outer hole on the arm in combination with the upper hole for the hingepin on the hub carrier. This gives you the familiar B4 style rear geometry we're all used to after all these years
