Textual only. This one should operate on strict string equality, and named accordingly (something like StrictStringPathComparer?).
Platform-default comparer: should implement case-sensitive comparison on Linux, and case-insensitive (probably with corresponding relaxations related to Unicode normalization) on Windows and macOS.
File-system-aware comparer: for each compared path component, should compare the actual case sensitivity of the corresponding file system subroot. For non-existent paths, it should use the platform-dependent policy of calculating the case sensitivity for new subdirectories (is it normally taken from the parent directory?).
This one is obviously IO-intensive, so I'm thinking of introducing some sort of "sensitivity cache" that'd store the lists of checked paths and subtrees in a trie data structure, and would be used for one or multiple operations (probably one per comparer instance, with the ability of manual reset).
Allow the paths to use different comparers; platform-default being used by default, as one giving the best precision while not losing performance dur to intensive IO.
