The 'correct' of your list is :

folder

The <platform name="windows8"> in plugin.xml is there for older windows8
projects that have not been updated.

In some of the above cases, if there is a windows8+windows src or www
folder it could be that they have differences in the code. ie. 'windows8'
=> windows 8.0 and 'windows' => windows 8.1 so there are also platform API
differences.
