standard costing

Hi is anyone able to help me with costing. Do companies use standard costing, marginal costing, absorption costing and ABC costing interchangeably, do companies choose to use one method over another or are they used for different functions?
Thanks for your help

Thanks Sandy, so I guess within batch, process, job and service costing all of these are used to obtain different financial figures.
