what is the difference between buildflow, multijob and pipeline plugin. If i have jobs need to run on the same node sequentially, which one should i use and why? I have some parameters that are to be shared by all the jobs. I can do it using multijob and build flow also. which one is preferable? I am confused.

Use the Pipeline plugin.
From the Build Flow plugin page:
"Deprecated: Users should migrate to https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Pipeline+Plugin"
If you're starting from scratch, the answer is basically the same for the Multijob plugin (prefer the pipeline plugin). The Multijob plugin was created pre-jenkins-2, and the pipeline plugin has implemented much of its functionality. Pipeline is one of the default plugins and is being actively maintained by multiple developers. Here is someone migrating from Multijob to Pipeline in 2016.
