A good example of the difference between the three notions of category is provided by the statement “every fully faithful and essentially surjective functor is an equivalence of categories”, which in classical set-based category theory is equivalent to the axiom of choice.
(i) For strict categories, this is still equivalent to to the axiom of choice.
(ii) For precategories, there is no axiom of choice which can make it true.
(iii) For saturated categories, it is provable without any axiom of choice.
