Ryan, V$sysstat is system wide statistics. It contains name, value and statistic# and class.
V$statname is used mostly as a lookup. V$sesstat is session stats which does not contain the *statistic name* column. When joined with v$statname (statistic# column), the statistic name and values can be obtained for a required session.
