there have been explanations about the different between miniforge and miniconda

miniforge is the community (conda-forge) driven minimalistic conda installer. Subsequent package installations come thus from conda-forge channel. miniconda is the Anaconda (company) driven minimalistic conda installer. Subsequent package installations come from the anaconda channels (default or otherwise).

as for mambaforge, mambaforge-pypy3, miniforge, miniforge-pypy3, how do we choose which package to install?

mamba* use the c/c++ implementation of the conda protocol "mamba" instead of the python implementation which is called conda. The *pypy3 variants ship with PyPy as the python implementation in the base environment instead of CPython.
