Basically,　Visual Mode is what you see if you leave it at default. It is fairly close to what the published page will look like.

Source Mode is more of the raw code, it's written in its own MediaWiki code (i think it is called), and as far as I know, it is used on all the various wikis on the net (or at least here on wikia).

There are many advantages to only using Source Mode (especially if you are dealing with tables and templates), although it can take some getting used to. One such advantage is the spell check feature. Personally, I am not the greatest speller, so I take full advantage of it. I only mentioned it because I noticed a few typos in your edits. Not a big deal, but these should be avoided of course.

I disabled visual mode some months ago, so I am not sure if the tabs are in the places that I described above, but they will be somewhere towards the top of the page.
