What's the difference between resetting all settings and clearing all settings when you give a used iPad to someone else? What's the best way to buy a used iPad?

Reset all settings and delete all content and settings do several things. Reset All Settings will delete things like your Wi-Fi password and settings you have set on your iPad for apps, email, etc.
Erasing all content and settings restores a device to the state it was in when it was first turned on. You should use Erase All Contents and Settings to make it ready for the next owner.

There is no "Clear All Settings". It's Erase All Content and Settings". This will erase all user content from the iPad and reset the settings to their defaults.
