Default LS1/LS2/LS6 Whats the diff?

I know the LS7 is the new 427 SB. I know the LS1 is a 350 SB and was the first of the new generation Chevy Small Blocks. It is what I have in my 99 Vert. But what is the difference between the other LS engines and what years were they made? Oh and if you know where does the ZO6's fit into this mix?
Thanks!
