"Speed" is simply gaining a defensive advantage by slowing the dribbler down.
"Balance" is just knocking the dribbler off-stride, whether it's slight or not.
"Quickness" is exactly the same as "speed", as far as I can see.

I think they're different. One is absolute speed, the other is accelleration.

Good point, but still moot, imo. The same rationale applies to both "speed" and "quickness". The defender gets an advantage in both cases if his hand-check slows the dribbler down.
