Why is there multiple of seemingly the same file and which do I choose?

Because the authors thought it was the thing to do?

Seriously, there are often different versions for reasons like, "have all the signs printed in the local language", or, "this is the theatrical cut, this one is the director's cut, this is the super-special director's cut that was done after a binge drinking weekend, this is the cut that was done after the lawyers figured out what the director snuck in while they were at a different party", et cetera.

And then there's Lionsgate.... You can search for that and learn about the horror of finding 100+ "versions" of a movie on a disk.
