Which transaction type is better for writing to an archived Feature Class using the Esri Geodatabase writer, Transactions or Non-versioned Edit Session?

It's not really clear when reading the writer parameter documentation: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/geodatabase/GEODATABASE_SDE_writer.htm

section -> Transaction Types -> "custom behavior."

What is exactly meant with "custom behavior"?

@jannes If you are only inserting records, I think you should be able to use Transactions. This will give you better performance than an Edit Session. If you are updating or deleting records then I think you'd have to use Edit Session. I think by 'custom behaviour' we mean any write to the database other than insert, but is does look like we need to clarify 'custom behaviour.
