MATLAB: SIL using model reference

Embedded Codermodel referencesilsimulation modesimulink

I want to understand the difference between thsese two 'code interface' options.

What difference it makes in each(Model Reference, Top Model) of the option shown and what is recommended option for perticular application?

I have gone through the 'Help' literature but it did not elaborate in detail which I need.

Can anyone help?

I thought the document was clear.

To deploy the generated code as part of a larger application that uses the referenced model, specify Model reference. To deploy the generated code as a standalone application, specify Top model.

MATLAB: Is there a difference in code generation when running a SIL simulation with Model blocks in R2013a

This behavior is expected in R2013a because the code is generated from referenced model as part of a model reference hierarchy. Code generation uses the following command: 
slbuild('model', 'ModelReferenceRTWTarget')
Starting from R2014b, there is a new setting option when you set the Simulation mode parameter to SIL (or PIL) for the model block, which allows specification of the code that you want to test.
<https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2014b/ecoder/ug/referenced-model-simulation-using-sil-or-pil.html>
If you select "Top model" from the drop-down list, code will be generated from referenced model with the standalone code interface. In this case, the command
slbuild('model')
   is used for code generation.

MATLAB: Incremental code generation for a single model

Incremantal code generation is mode of code generation in which simulink generate code for those portions of the model that have changed logically since the last build. Incremental code generation works only for referenced models so as long as the model doesn't change , Simulink won't regenerate or recompile the code for the referenced model.
