I have been reading through lots of Facebook threads, but am still confused. Does it matter what category I set it up under, if so which one will I want to use?

The category doesn't make a huge difference. No one browses categories to find a page. Just pick one that seems to work. I know there are several that could be used.
 
It depends on the purpose and content of your page. Here are some common categories and their purposes:1. Business or Brand: This category is suitable for businesses, brands, and organizations that want to promote their products or services and engage with their customers.2. Community or Public Figure: This category is for public figures, organizations, or communities that want to connect with their followers and share information about events, causes, or issues.3. Entertainment: This category is for pages related to entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, music, or books.4. Personal Blog or Website: This category is for individuals who want to share their personal thoughts, experiences, or expertise through a blog or website.5. Artist, Band, or Public Figure: This category is for artists, musicians, bands, or public figures who want to promote their work and interact with fans.6. Cause or Community: This category is for pages dedicated to raising awareness or supporting a cause, charity, or community organization.7. Product or Service: This category is for pages promoting specific products or services, such as a restaurant, store, or online shop.Ultimately, the category you choose should reflect the main purpose and content of your page. If you are still unsure, you can select a general category and update it later if needed.
