I think standby is mostly for putting it in ur pocket and when it's in your possession so you don't hit and keys. Only the mute key and the 4 main buttons under the screen wake the phone. More keys wake the screen under lock mode.
Lock would be if you're leaving your device around the house or office where somone else could get their hands on it and would need a pw to unlock it.
Both should give you alerts. Standy or sleep mode will prevent the screen from being activated except when pressing the mute button or one of the 4 main buttons. Use standy/sleep mode to save battery power while also locking the screen.

Which do people use when theyre putting em in their pocket?
Wont the four main buttons getting pressed have the potential to call people accidently?
In standby, the four main buttons wake the screen, but only the mute button can bring the phone back out of standby.
In lock mode, hitting any button (other than lock) brings up a prompt asking if you want to Unlock, Cancel, or Make an Emergency Call. Pressing the trackball by accident could potentially trigger one of those options.

I use standby/sleep mode in my pocket. The 4 main keys simply light up the screen (briefly) but will not work any phone phone functions until the mute key is pressed.

Are you talking about the lock key on top of the phone? How do you set a password for that? It is by default just turned off by hitting the star key and then the call key right?
