Verticals are typically for heavier shit. Only ones I'd see used were old iron used for prepping big/heavy stock since they're so rigid.

Now it's irrelevant. Since most new machines being put in are 5 axis anyways.

Are they horizontal mills or boring mills?

This isn't necessarily true. There's lots of 'civilian' industries that use horizontal/boring mills. Any large industry(mining, construction, power generation, etc) has need for work on massive castings.
