The most common version of the straight router bit is a straight-fluted bit. This comes with either one cutting edge (single flute) or two parallel cutting edges (two flutes) that will do an acceptable job on most cutting tasks. Straight-flute bits with one cutting edge are the only bits that come in very small sizes for routing inlays or other small jobs (there isn't much room on a 1/16 bit for two flutes). In larger sizes, this design cuts faster but with a slightly rougher quality than with other style bits.

Those with two cutting edges are ideal for cutting rabbets or dadoes on the edge of a board, or for through-cuts in the center of a board, where the bit is entering and exiting the workpiece as it cuts. They are also a good choice for shallow mortises, such as hinge mortises, where you increase the depth of cut slightly with each pass. However, straight-flute bits don't plunge straight down into wood very well because the cutting edges are on the side, not the bottom. 
If you need to plunge straight down into a workpiece, such as when cutting mortises or stopped dadoes, you have two choices, either a straight-flute bit with an added point on the bottom, or a bit with cutting edges on the end that extend to the center of the bit. The former is a specialty item, often with an angled tip like a drill bit. The latter is usually found on spiral-flute bits.
In addition to being ideal for plunge cuts, spiral-flute bits (also known as shearing bits) leave high-quality surfaces. They are available with the cutting edge on the upcut and downcut. Spiral upcut bits tend to tear out a bit more on the top surface, since they are lifting the wood, but usually leave the bottom surface in excellent shape. The reverse is true for spiral downcut bits. A third style, known as a compression bit, is designed to cut the top and bottom edges cleanly--a plus for routing the edges of difficult plywood, for example.

Spiral upcut bits often are used for mortising, because they clear the wood chips better than straight-flute bits. There is a tendency to tear out at the ends of the cut, but this is not usually a major issue. Because of the complex machining processes used to make spiral-flute bits, they cost more than straight-flute bits.
