Use it everyday. What is the 3rd party app that they use? A Cisco client, perhaps?
The service name is just your own description - whatever you want.
Ignore the 'new connection' within the Network pref...OS X just puts everything network-related there. The VPN client will use whichever your current Internet connection is, at the time, and tunnel through that.
On your VPN type, just choose one of them to continue setting it up (L2TP over IPSec or PPTP...odds are that it is PPTP, that they use, so try that first).
Leave the encryption settings to 'Automatic' and fill out the rest that you need (server name, username/password) and then see if it will connect. If it doesn't, make sure the details are correct and try again. If it doesn't, then switch it over to the other VPN type and try again.
For convenience, also make sure to check the 'Show VPN status in menu bar'.
