There are two border crossings the bus companies will use - Huanggang or Shenzhen Bay - depends on schedule and company. You will know which one before you purchase your tickets.

For Huanggang, you get off bus and take all belongings at HK Immigration. After you exit HK, you get back on the bus (usually same one) for a one-minute ride over the bridge to Chinese side. Get off bus again with all belongings, and clear Chinese immigration and customs. They'll tell you which bus bay to reboard. Usually, it won't be the same bus, though it'll be the same company's for remaining trip.

For Shenzhen Bay, HK and Chinese immigration are housed under same roof on Chinese land. So, you only get off bus once. Again, they'll tell you which bus bay to reboard; and again, most of the time it won't be the same vehicle.

There are no discernible differences between the companies.
