Once you've picked the folder with the version you want, you have a file
called 'README' that explains to you what these files are.

In short, I would just use the simplest one:

    emacs-26.2-x86_64

if not, mostly quoting the README:

    If you do not want these features (if you have them already for
    instance, or you want the smallest possible Emacs), then you may use
    the files emacs-VER-no-deps.zip.
