How do you manage these 3 different types of Keys? (and any others)

Depends. API stuff I tend to extern const; the internal one is either #defined, or used directly.


( I notice the Cocoa headers use extern const which seems like 4x the work and I'm not sure why they do it like this?)

Just 2x the work, not 4x :)

It's the cleanest way possible, I guess (not the most flexible one, but that's another story).

For the Localised Strings and UserDefaults where should I define these keys?

In my personal opinion, depends on usage. API stuff (defaults sometimes, localised strings hardly ever) goes to extern const, *very rarely* (if the flexibility is needed) to a class method which returns the thing. Non-API oft-used stuff I #define. Non-API once-or- twice used stuff I just write and that's that :)
