PTT means Push-to-talk or Press To Talk
VOX means Voice Operated eXchange and it a voice activated switch, you don't have to press the press button to speak.

Don't know... I used to own a PTT but it's hard to use it when you're prone..
With VOX everyone hear what you say... Including thing you don't want them to hear!

Most radios come with a vox option as standard. Then A PTT (Button) is either bought as a seperate unit or as part of a headset. So You can have both and simply choose.

I just bought a pair of midland radios and a bravo style headset with the PTT. I haven't had the opportunity to try them yet though.

I prefer people using PTT. Otherwise you end up with a lot of guys breathing heavily over the radio. Open mics are a problem too when you really need to get pertinent information out.
