OLEDB is a specification for a driver, as is ODBC. So you have OLEDB drivers and ODBC drivers. There are also native drivers, which each have their own specification.

Providers are merely .NET interfaces to the drivers. If you did not have providers, then you would have to code directly against the OLEDB or ODBC api yourself, or use the old (non .NET) ADO.

Since OLEDB is more recent than ODBC, it is more full featured, and often faster. Given a choice, you should use it. Try and stay away from native drivers unless you want to be tied to a particular database. Performance gains from native drivers are usually marginal.
