Welcome to WebmasterWorld sayx.

The regular googlebot does all of those things with the exception of image-bot and the media bot for adsense.

You'll see this in your logs:

2003-12-08 08:20:30 64.68.82.45 GET /****xx.htm 200 12963 202 www.xxxxx.org Googlebot/2.1+(+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) -

The regular bot always has an IP# that starts with 64.68. I usually open the raw logs with Wordpad every morning and "Find" "64.68" to see how many pages googlebot took.
