Ryan,

V$sysstat is system wide statistics. It contains name, value and statistic# and class.

V$statname is used mostly as a lookup.

V$sesstat is session stats which does not contain the *statistic name* column.
When joined with v$statname (statistic# column), the statistic name and values can be obtained for a required session.
