jQuery attr vs. prop, there are a list of props? [closed]

Question

This is not a duplicate question, I need only to decide if the better/fast/correct is to use attr or to use prop. The simplest and reliable way is checking into a list. A "list of element-name where the better is use prop(name) and/or a list where the better is use attr(name)".

PS: I am using jQuery 1.9+, and suppose that attr() is not a deprecated method.

Example of decisions (where the LIST have the answer):

• is better get ID value by $(x).prop('id') or by $(x).attr('id')?
• is better change title with $(x).prop('title','BLABLA') or with $(x).attr('title','BLABLA')?
• can I use $(x).attr('selectedIndex')?
• what property names have risk with "Cross-browser consistency"?
• there are some case (with Microsoft-IE p.ex.) where $(x).attr('name') and $(x).prop('name') will return different things?

Perhaps a full list is not necessary, only a list of things that make some difference or risk for jQuery.
