Now, which of those options go into a "straight up" 6WD?

Spoiler for Rhetorical question answer:
All of them. It just depends which team you're asking.

The classic WCD is a live axle, drop center, cantilever, direct drive/chain combination, shifting drivetrain. Different teams have different tweaks to that drivetrain.
The same as WCD except that it is not cantilevered and the outer axles are dead (like 1114 does).
