Yes, this is correct.

All ChessBase engines run under any of the ChessBase-GUI's

Yes

There are still some bugs but they are no longer severe. Nevertheless I am still
using the Fritz6-GUI.

From what I understand Shredder plays a very solid positional game while Chess/Gambit Tiger plays more enterprisingly, with Fritz somewhere in between. And since Crafty is a free download, where does it fall on the style spectrum? What are people's
experiences with and opinions of the styles of play of these four engines?

These are general remarks that cannot be valid for all positions. In principle
one must have all these programs to get a real expression.
