There are no real functional differences between any types of callback plugins. It is more just a convention to describe what they do.
stdout = writes to stdout notification = sends some sort of notification based on an event aggregate = summarizes an execution Really the only difference is that Ansible enforces that only a single `stdout` callback can be enabled at any 1 time. That is because the `stdout` plugin controls writing to stdout for output. So you cannot enable more than 1. Honestly though, there is nothing stopping you from just giving it some other type.
