CARP would typically be used for a high availability setup. This would be when you either have (or plan to have) two firewalls in a redundant setup and a virtual address floating between them. Proxy ARP is when you just have to let some other device on the same layer 2 network know that the address lives on you (or you know how to get it there at layer 2). Similar usage to CARP (and might disappear some day in favor of CARP or interface aliases). "Other" is useful for when the IP or network is already routed to your box. ie. some other device on the network already knows that your pfSense box can handle it (typically this would be a routing thing - although I can certainly see this being used in a bridge setup). There's yer FAQ, please submit to the FAQ (and maybe make it prettier and put it on the documentation wiki).
