As for the difference between "ssl " and "uie " - it's very subtle. It has to do with key name space. Basically, if the keys are referenced differently, they don't get intermixed (eg: ssl keys do not mix with uie keys). If you use the same key name space, then if by chance, you ended up with two keys that happened to match (say one from a cookie and one from a ssl session id), then you would get the same persist record. So, it's just a means of keeping keys distinguished from one another (eg: ssl keys are kept separate from uie keys). As you've probably figured out, it doesn't effect whether or not it works and you could certainly use either key name space.
As for the second part of you post, it's really hard to tell without seeing alot more of your configuration, the iRules you might have in place and the number of connections that are coming from the client. It would be a lot easier for support to gather that information.
