Chemical reactions have nothing to do with nuclear reactions.

Well at the end it all comes to how much energy you want to use and how much mass you want to expel. As most energy sources you can put on a rocket are quite limited, if you want alot of thrust you would expel alot of mass at low velocity. If you want to conserve the mass, then you would throw it out at high velocity.

Those different techs are just for conversing different types and energies to usable propulsion.
