I assume you saw "Generated by Unregistered Version" multiple times when you tried to add. Clearly that's not the actual title of those books, so I conclude you did not have good internal metadata in those files, and did not have "Read metadata only from filenames turned on." I would have told Calibre to not add them, then gone back and reconfigured Calibre to get the metadata from the filename. Presumably the title of the file contains or is the title of the book.
Even with your proposed options, I think it would be a mistake to add any of these books. Note that Calibre is asking you whether you want to add the duplicates or not. Presumably your 3 categories are mutually exclusive, so you have to answer 3 times. Think about how you would answer each question. Would you let it add books entitled "Generated by Unregistered Version" when the hash did not match? Why? You'd have many books with the identical wrong title! Even if they are different books, you'd still have to fix all those wrong titles manually. You'd be better off deleting them all and adding them with the correct setting in Calibre to get the correct title/metadata from the filename.
