Short version, they're three versions of the same package with incompatible API - first the migration from Gtk+ 2 to 3, then some further changes required to properly support some new functionality for Webkit2. Presumably the first two will die off in time, but for now, not everything has been ported - some apps are still Gtk+ 2, while others are Gtk+ 3 but haven't been ported to the relatively new WebKit 2... As to which one to build - there's no reason to build any of them, unless something else you're building depends on it. And in that case, build the one that the package needs.
