-E uses SLC flash, which is optimised for fast writes.  Ideal for a
ZIL which is (basically) write-only.
-M uses MLC flash, which is optimised for fast reads.  Ideal for an
L2ARC which is (basically) read-only.

-E tends to have smaller capacities, which is fine for ZIL.
-M tends to have larger capacities, which is perfect for L2ARC.

-M has larger capacity and L2ARC is mostly for read  and not much write 
and U also need memory for ARC

L2ARC should be the sze of Ur working dataset
ZIL is mostly for write and U want SSD for better write and longer life  
and ZIl may be <=1/2 phy memory

regards
