What is the difference between a player text-draw and a global text-draw?

If I were trying to create a menu out of textdraws that would show for the player everytime they press a certain button, should I use global or player textdraws? The menu will be the same for the majority of players.

Basically the same, only that Player textdraws destroy when the player disconnects.

So for the use I described (a menu that a player sees when they press a button) would it be best to use a global textdraw or player textdraw?

I'd go with player textdraw if it differs for each player, if it's the same for all a global one.

Another advantage is that you can have 256 player-textdraws per player, as opposed to the global limit of 2048, allowing you to 'bypass' the limit. The fact that only 92 textdraws can be displayed at a time mean it's more than enough,

[Scenario]

You CAN add a [playerid] tag to global text-draws if you really wanted to. However, it's quite pointless since you'll never need to have 256 text-draws actually loaded 100% of the time a player is on the server. I add/remove text-draws for my players depending on when I need them.
