I intend to compile the latest kernel 4.8.11. The latest kernel source available in the repository was 4.8.7. The linux-config-4.8 has the two configs mentioned. Which would be the later or rather which should i choose? I've skimmed through both and the major difference that worries me is:

CONFIG_SLAB=y | CONFIG_SLUB=y

The only changes i will make to this with makemenuconfig is to get rid of all the ethernet card drivers and graphic card drivers other than those on my laptop. Don't think i know enough to mess around with the sound drivers. :-)

I would guess rt is for realtime support, so probably use the regular config.

Thanks, i played it safe and did exactly that.
