To me the distinction is both regional and based on the assembly/Bread
From the main placed I lived sandwiches were called and assembled as such:
A Hoagie is on a long soft roll and the filling is placed across the open bread and the pressed in with a knife when the sandwich is folded so it sort of forms a V with the toppings in the middle of the meat - This is the predominant sandwich in Philadelphia
A Hero or Wedge is on Italian-Style bread and the filings are layered on the bottom and then the sandwich is closed so the toppings are on top of the meat - This is the predominant format in NY
A PoBoy is on french bread - This is what you generally got in Houston
I am unsure on the "Grinder" it seems to be a variation on the Hoagie but with hot filling like Chicken Parm
I voted Hoagie because I live in Phily so that's pretty much what you get

In Madison, Wisconsin just about everyone calls large sandwiches "submarines," or just plain 'subs.' So do I.
My Dad, obviously being older, referred to any large sandwich as a "Dagwood."
