I think Gnome (Metacity) is "old[er]", though I have to admit there
isn't much clear information about it.  Links such as this seems to
indicate so:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Metacity .

The link Charles sent was about Gnome (i.e., the first one in your
list).  But I guess Gnome and Gnome (Metacity) are similar?  I'm
actually not too sure...

Of course, whatever works is fine; glad you worked out how to install
it!  I also was worried at first that I'd have to install everything
from scratch.  I know there may be conflicts with Unity and I'll just
have to uninstall them one by one over time...
