737 Level change/Vertical speed modes

Hi wondered if anyone could spare some time to explain when you would use level change over VS mode or VS mode over level change mode?
I have a basic understanding that level change will pitch the a/c to maintain speed with either increased or decreased thrust.And VS mode will adjust thrust to maintain selected rate of climb/descent.
Trying to build my knowledge of 737-300 automation.Thanks for any help
