Reset All Settings and Erase All Content and Settings do different things. Reset all Settings removes things like your Wifi password and settings you've set on your iPad for Apps, mail, etc.
Erase All Content and Settings restores a device to it's out of the box state when it was first turned on. You should use Erase All Content and Settings to get it ready for the next owner.

There is no "Erase All Settings". It is Erase All Content and Settings". This erases all user content from the iPad and resets the Settings to default values.
