$\sin$ will be used much more often than $\sinh$. As for the inverses, I would expect a calculator to have an INV button which changes all trigonometric functions to their inverses.

My experience tells me that $sin^{-1}$ will be pressed the most, then $sin$.

To be honest, I never used the other two buttons in any of high-school problems (and in my basic physics course)
