A daily ticket is one that's good from whenever you first validate it until the last service that night, unlimited rides on buses, trains and trams. So if you take the tram to and from work, you'd need a daily ticket.
The two hour one is only valid for two hours, so if you just got the tram to OR from work and that was it, then that's all you'd get. It's also valid for unlimited rides during that time on anything... and it's also awesome because it isn't a strict two hours, it rounds up to the next hour and then adds two. So a ticket validated at 11:59 will round up to 12 and be valid until 2, but a ticket validated on the dot of 12 will round up to one and be valid until 3. ;) And if you validate after 6pm then they're also valid until the last service. They also used to have a short trip ticket, which was only valid for one single journey of three train stations, or ten tram stops, so I'd get that to and from school. Then they abolished it which was STUPID because suddenly when I finished work late, I'd have to get a two-hour ticket for a five minute journey. (I walked home other days but didn't really want a 45-minute walk when it was late and dark.) However, in this case I did the Australian thing of just not getting a ticket, lol. You'd be daft to try that on a train, but it's fair to say that half the people on a tram at any given time won't have a ticket.
