Coming from live consoles and being a long-time user of another DAW, Auxes and Busses are conceived of differently.
Typically, you would use an AUX for Effects, as then you can send many channels to a particular effect (i.e. Room or Hall or Plate reverb) or an Effect Chain (i.e. delay, verb, compression, shelving EQ, etc.) and determine the AMOUNT you desire to send per channel. For example, it would be standard to have the reverb set at 100% on the Aux channel, and then send differing amounts to taste from each source channel (i.e. maybe -20dB on a Lead Vocal, and -15dB on backup vocals - to highlight the lead vocal).
Meanwhile, think of Busses for Grouping Channel Outputs and for mixing. So, any groups of channels that you want to send through the same EQ or Dynamics chain - and control for volume as a group (i.e. Drums, Guitars, keyboards, orchestra, backing vocals, etc.) - you assign their outputs to Subgroups.
Then software that emulates hardware VCAs becomes another sweet option, for controlling groups of faders (but no audio passes through). It's worth thinking of WHY such a category exists and what advantages it has compared to another category.
