ZWO asi2600mc settings in APT?

Hi, I have just received a ZWO asi2600mc, I previously have been using a Canon EOS 600D.
The software i am using is APT ( astro photography tool )

I am trying to find out wha is the best or correct option to go with when opening the camera tab.
Do i choose ASCOM as the driver or ZWO?

The ASCOM options seam easy enough to set up by the looks of things.
You just either select highest dynamic gain or lowest read noise,
So basically 0 for for dark skies and 100 for suburban skies.

But if i choose ZWO as the driver i have a different options to work out.
Black level/offset
USB speed %
WB_R
WB_B
I have no idea what any of those mean or what i should be setting them at.

Below is a copy of the two options that i am talking about, the left one is the options with ZWO and the right is the options with ASCOM

Any help would be greatly appreciated
