the options are

Universal
Arm v7
Arm v6

Yeah that's not super obvious is it, I've just been using universal but would like to know when it would be appropriate to use the other two.

This showed up on the mailing list a while ago:

You would want ARMv6 to work if you wanted it to run on old iPod touch and old iPhone. Like, 3G or Original iPhone, or 2nd gen touch. iPhone 3gs, 4, 4S, touch 3rd gen (except the 8GB one), 4 gen, and iPads, are all ARMv7.

Application loader was rejecting my app because of I had futzed around with this drop down. I was trying to build for ipad/iphone @ 3.2 or later on Arm7. I switched it to ipad/iphone @ 3.2 or later on Universal and then it was fine. It was complaining about compatibility of the options between versions or something in the plist file.
