The least hassle-free option would probably be to enable them all. Then,
you can use the "elevator=" kernel option to set the default at bootup;
and you can view or change the scheduler in use at runtime by reading or
writing to /sys/block/<device>/queue/scheduler, respectively. (You'll
mostly have to become root to do this. Run "su -" in a terminal to
become root temporarily.)
If you want more information about what each one does in detail, you can
install the kernel-doc package and take a look at the text files in
the /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-version/Documentation/block/ directory.
Hope that helps.
