I did some research but I am still cinfused about these? What are the differences between "Mack, Tug, Gem, Wild Type, LB Snows (LB means line Bred? What is line bred? Is that where you pick the best looking offsprig and breed them together or back to the parents?". Are there any others that I missed? Are they all compatible? I think I read on the UK forum that some produce supers where you can see the iris? I never even see anyone selling a Wild Type snow but leopard gecko wiki says there is one? Can someone straighten me out please on all this!!! Thank you!!!

Mack snow is an incomplete dominate trait, tug and gem snows are thought to be dominate traits.

mack, tug, and gem snows can be bred to produce some super snows and snows. Line bred snow crosses with tug, mack, or gem snows can produce snows; they can also produce supers but this is very uncommon. You seem to have line breeding figured out, but to clarify line bred snow x line bred snow will not make super snows.

as far as wild type snows go, the "sub"species Eublepharis macularius fasciolatus and Eublepharis macularius montanus can be very hypoxanthic and are probably the basis of some of the snow genes in captivity
