Default Picking peppers?

Ive got a question for all you hot pepper guys...I planted 12 Hot Hungarian Wax, & 4 each of Cayenne, Jalapeno, & Habanero peppers this year. Now Ive had the Hungarian Wax for years, and am comfortable with the jalapenos, but what Im not sure of is when to pick the habaneros & cayenne peppers. Im pretty sure I wait til the habaneros are kinda orangeish, right? What about the chiles? Are cayenne & chile peppers the same? Do I pick them green or wait til they are red on the vine? they are quite long right now, maybe 2 1/2 to 3 inches in length...thanks in advance for any answers!

Chris
