These are pretty general questions that are probably best answered outside of a newsgroup. This is primarily because the explanation for each could potentially be quite long and even if answered may not provide the information you are looking for. For example, you ask : "What is good / bad about a B+Tree" well, as compared to what? A hash table ?, B*Tree ? , BTree ?, or another alternative indexing structure?
You might want to take a look at a good book on file structures or database systems. Alternatively, do some searches on Google.
For example: http://www.public.asu.edu/~peterjn/btree/ provides a pretty good description of BTrees.
