I don't understand the models either.  I usually select "reposition 
only" which usually works and seems to minimize loss to cropping.  If it 
doesn't I'll try spherical or cylindrical.  If neither of those work 
I'll try manual repositioning which usually works but sometimes requires 
turning off the "snap-to" position.  If manual doesn't get it it's a 
hopeless cause.  One of these days I'm really going to have to buy a 
pano head.  But it works fairly well since all of my panos are out doors 
with lots of space to avoid parallax errors.  I'm surprised yours works 
at all in such close quarters without a pano head.

Here's a link to a page on resolving (or at least understanding) pano 
stitching problems <http://www.panoguide.com/howto/panoramas/problems.jsp>

Note that autofocus is listed as a problem area as the camera may be 
focusing at different distances between frames.
