Contaminated Runway B737

Can anyone please advise me on the Contaminated Runway Takeoff Perfo B737 : in fact, when do I use table [Wet Runway], when [Slush/Standing Water] and when [Slippery Runway]...?


Example 1 :
Weather report is 2 mm standing water
Do I use [wet runway] or [Slush/Standing Water] ?

Example 2 :
Weather report is 10 mm dry snow
Do I use [slippery runway] or do I enter [Slush/Standing Water] with the equivalent of 2 mm wet snow ?

Example 3 :
Weather report is 4 mm ice
Do I use [slippery runway] (but I have no breaking action) or do I enter [Slush/Standing Water] with the equivalent of 33 mm snow ?


Example 4 :
Weather report is 20 mm wet snow - braking action poor
Do I use [slippery runway] (braking action poor) or do I enter [Slush/Standing Water] with 20 mm wet snow ?


Thanks for your help, this is really a grey zone for me and I can't find any reasonable explication in the flight manuals.
