I think I've been confused because there's also a 4th type, the dual MOBI, which has both KF7 and KF8, if I understand correctly.
Whenever I saw a post from someone asking about problems making a MOBI I'd encourage them to make an AZW3/KF8 instead because I was thinking of the old KF7 MOBI, but they could have been thinking of the dual MOBI? And then a lot of web sites talk about MOBI like it's the go to kindle format. I've never tried it but I'm guessing that calibre makes KF7, not a dual MOBI, when you tell it to make a MOBI.
Kindle Previewer makes a dual MOBI when you export from it. Hitch convinced me that when uploading here that I should upload the dual MOBI; I was going to extract the KF8 and upload that.
Edit: I forgot to say that I'm going to ignore KFX for uploading here. People who prefer flush right margins and download any books I make will have to soldier through with my ragged right margins.
