We do not have examples of each connections symbology. But, as you have seen, when you change the Service, it asks you to update the symbols to the new service, which you should do (unless you are just doing a quick test for something and know you do not want to change). You can also select Edit >> Translate Symbols to Current Service to ensure that all charts are updated to the new symbology.

If you want to make up your own table of symbol methodology, then you would just need to go through each Service option and go to File >> Find Symbol to see how that particular service deals with the symbols. Just note that not all services use the same primary symbol information (for example, the CME E-Mini S&P 500 Futures is ES, therefore with SC Data - All Services it is "ESM21-CME" for the M contract in 2021, but on CQG, they use "EP" instead of "ES").
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
