Installation: Which headers to use, how to choose?

[tecfu]

Hi. I've found this package as a potential solution to support vim with 256 colors by way of https://superuser.com/questions/67582/tty-with-256-colors.

I have a server running Ubuntu 18.04. I've followed the installation instructions and so far have found corresponding packages to satisfy the dependencies listed:

apt install -y libtsm-dev libudev-dev libxkbcommon-dev libdrm-dev

But attempting to install linux-headers returns a list of options, and I'm not sure what to choose:
