1 and 2 is fine, you'll get the complete installation .. 3 and 4 are just source cds

If you have to ask, you don't need them.

As DrOzz said, cd 3 and 4 contain the source, which might be nice if you're into development rather heavily and want to get really intimate with Slack (or compile it from scratch).
