I want to bootstrap my MVC 4 application but am not sure which ones I want or need. The descriptions are pretty vague and I'm having trouble finding a nice breakdown of what each of these versions mean.
What are the main differences/similarities and which one should I choose?
There's no difference. Twitter Bootstrap was the official name for version 1.0 (Twitter Bootstrap). Later the name has been shortened.
NuGet provides the tools developers need for creating, publishing, and consuming packages. Most importantly, NuGet maintains a reference list of packages used in a project and the ability to restore and update those packages from that list.
Twitter.Boostrap is currently just a dependency link to "Bootstrap", the first option. So I take that as Bootstrap is all you need. If you install Twitter.Bootstrap, a readme.txt will be opened.
From the Twitter.Bootstrap nuget package readme.txt:
Twitter.Bootstrap is moving!
v3.0.1 will be the last release of Bootstrap under the Twitter.Bootstrap namespace. With new projects moving forward, you should install Bootstrap directly from the Bootstrap namespace maintained by Outercurve https://www.nuget.org/packages/Bootstrap/ For existing projects, you already have the new Bootstrap package installed by upgrading to this release.
