They only differ in how/where you store the account details. To Squid
they are all the same thing: a method to verify if the user supplied
login+password is valid.

NCSA uses a local text file with crypt hashed passwords, same the good
old NCSA web server (and its more well known successor Apache).

LDAP uses a LDAP directory server, which is very useful is you use a
LDAP directory server for your user accounts..

and each other basic auth helper connects to some other password
source..
