Coconut cream - just want to make sure - Tiki Drinks and Food

Allow me to number them: So, is it coconut cream or cream of coconut that should be used in most Tiki drinks? I don't have my books with me now, but are there different Beachbum recipes that call for one and not the other, or is it always CoCo Lopez(which, without a doubt, is cream of coconut?)? Do you think we can assume that the Bum has his nomenclature correct in all his recipes inasmuch as his requested ingredients on the page are indeed what's needed? Or, do some drinks benefit from one over the other (in terms of what's traditional or the norm, not according to personal taste?) I'm lost unless I have some hard-coded rules in front of me for things like this.
