I would choose none of the above.

If you have a recent version of STS (since 3.4 I think) there is also an "Import Spring Getting Started Content" (clue in the name: if you are getting started this is a good place to look, and all the guides are online at https://spring.io/guides). If you are studying the guides then this is the best place to start.

You also get a "Spring Starter Project" option directly in the "New" menu. If you want a minimal project with enough code to run but no actual business logic, then this is the best place to start. It's what you would use to create the code in the guides mostly.

The other options (including all those listed in the original post) are unofficially deprecated, and not particularly well maintained or modern.

As an absolute beginner, I would read up on Spring Roo and then pick either Spring MVC or Spring Roo project depending on whether I liked Roo or not.
