Enforcing does what the label says, enforces the rules.  (Presuming that
no-one's goofed...  It's never a good idea to place absolute trust in
something.)

Permissive does what it says, it permits it.  It offers you no
protection, lets you do what you tried to, but gives you a report about
it.  Which would then allow you to design custom rules, or modify your
software not to do things it shouldn't, if you understood such things.

Off, does nothing at all.

If you want it, use enforcing.  If you're programming or going to fix
things, you'd probably want it on, but would switch to permissive while
fixing things up.  If you don't want it, turn it off.
