I think it would be very difficult for anyone to make an informed decision about which type of breast lift to have without the advice of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. I would recommend one or more consults by well-trained surgeons in your area who will give you their best advice and recommendations after a thorough discussion and evaluation. This will be, in my opinion, the best way for you to make an informed decision.

The terms u you mention are not all ones in common use, so I suspect they all mean the same thing, which is a periareolar mastopexy, also called a Benelli or donut mastopexy.

A: These are minor lifts and require an implant

What you are describing are minor forms of breast lifting and each needs an implant to drape the extra skin laxity since this extra skin is not excised as it is in a full lift. Make sure you go to an excellent plastic surgeon who can help you sort out what is best for your anatomy and desires.
