It might matter -- I would imagine that it's a case of
"zeroconf/bonjour/avahi" duplicating the "driver-needed" and
"driverless" options that represent "standard" IPP.

There's not enough information here to tell you which one is "correct"
to pick. In my case, the zeroconf ones never work (but that's because
the printer implemented it wrong). I avoid the "detected" printers for
that reason, and usually select the "Other: Network Printer(IPP)" option
near the bottom.
