The standard driver is called KoboTouch, it comes with Calibre. The extended driver is called KoboTouchExtended I think, and its main purpose is to convert from epub format to kepub format, it is an optional extra.

In any case I would recommend transfering just a few books to start with, until you figure out whether you want to read the books in epub or kepub format, and which options you want to enable in the Calibre drivers.

Edit: With the current Kobo firmware, processing sideloaded books takes quite a long time. If you load 800 books at once it could take an hour or more to process them. So it is best to be sure you have everything set up the way you want before sideloading your whole library.

Edit2: Sorry, to answer your question about how to use the standard driver: In calibre go to Preferences > Plugins > Device interface plugins, and disable KoboTouchExtended.
