One of the key things I think between the 3 games is whether communication beforehand helps (in single shot games).
In PD communication doesn’t really help much as you there is little reason to trust what the other person.
In SH communication should be able to solve your problem as S-S is optimal for both players.
In BotS communication which results in agreement can at least be trusted as co-ordinating is optimal for both players. Choosing which option to co-ordinate on is another matter.
(assuming you’ve included the pleasure of spiting the other person etc. in the payoff matrix)
I had the same confusion.

See my reply to Raemon for the aforementioned confusion.
