I can add some comments regarding biblatex:

- default: \parencite[1]
- text: \textcite
- author: \citeauthor[2] 
- title: \citetitle[2]
- year: \citeyear[2]
- locators: \notecite[3]
- nocite: \nocite

Biblatex of course has a wealth of citation commands, most with variants of
different kinds. Not sure if that's relevant right now.

Footnotes:
[1] Note that biblatex also has \cite, which produces a citation without
     parentheses. But the natbib column has \citep here, so \parencite seems
     appropriate.

[2]  The biblatex manual states that this does not do "citation tracking",
     though what this implies is not clear to me.

[3]  There are variants \pnotecite and \fnotecite for parenthetical and
     footnote citations, respectively.
