I was just wondering if the types of crossover, them being Analog, Linear Phase and Hybrid basically are used for when you want to use MStereoprocessor for mastering or tracking.
I guess that analog would be latency free, linear phase would be with latency so more for mastering and hybrid would be somewhere inbetween ?
And also, for checking phase correlation, how is that done with it ? I assume just putting it in mono mode then listening would do it ?
I do like the stereo elements tab, that nulls the mono so you can hear whats outside it, horrified me to hear how little placement I do.......

Well, analog is really the most typical minimum phase (basically zero latency) crossover, linear phase introduces latency and has very steep transition between bands, hybrid is also linear phase, but has less steep transition, kinda similar to some of the analog crossvers.
So basically when using it in the mix, I'd suggest using analog crossover (whichever steepness you choose). On the master track you can have latency with no problems, so you can choose whichever you like the most.
About the phase correlation - well, that's basically the ellipse. The wider it is, the less it is correlated and the stereo image sounds "wider". The "mono" auditioning is there mostly to let you check for problems - people like using some low-end wideners, which are not mono compatible, so then the track may almost disappear in mono. Other cases include for example recording using a stereo microphone (then I recommend checking MAutoAlign and related videos). In most cases people are listening in stereo, but it's always good to check if it doesn't sound too bad in mono.
