Bar Syrup and Simple Syrup are basically the same and are typically 1:1 sugar and water (you can't get simpler than one to one!). Invert Sugar Syrup is more stable and will keep longer, and there are all kinds of ways to get there including a bit of lemon, lime, Karo, or salt. Rock Candy syrup is different and should generally not be used unless called out in the recipe. Rock Candy Syrup is considerably sweeter and if your using it in place of Simple Syrup you'll need to adjust your recipe accordingly.
