what kind of features differ between Boot Loaders
It seems to me that Linux users just want to control every last part of their isntallation package, I understand I am kind of like that, but I am predominantly still a windows user, and just wondering what the benefits were.

GRUB is essentially better in all ways over LILO. LILO has up until recently, when GRUB began taking over, been the boot loader that everyone uses but that noone likes. Now it is the boot loader that noone uses and noone likes.
I won't go into any technical details now (too tired!!!), but let's suffice to say that GRUB is _much_ better.
