It's all unsprung weight, the entire mass that moves with the wheel assembly is counted. Rotating mass is just the wheel, the hub and rotor. Reducing rotating mass helps accelation, reducing unsprung weight helps the suspension responsiveness.

But as you pointed out you can't really make a poll out of this. Asking for factual information would be far more useful.
