My guess is:

(a) if you want to embed general Lua scripts into a host application,  
go for the 'bin2c' because it uses a very simple and flexible approach.

(b) if you want to create a library with pre-compiled Lua modules that  
can be linked to different projects, be distributed as a general  
library, or be dynamically loaded using the Lua 5.1 package model,  
you'll find that LOOP pre-compiler and pre-loader scripts might help  
you.

(c) if you want to create an executable file for an application  
entirely or mainly written in Lua, check out Luiz's tools:
