In the smaller sizes, 6000s and 5000s are bushing reels. Ball bearing reels are 6500s, 6600s, 5500s, etc.
x500 reels have push button free spool. x600 reels have a thumb bar.
Reels with C3, C4, CL and CS all have level winds. A reel without one will have CT as part of the model number.
That's about as simple as one can make it.
