Universal refers to the same version but different platforms(windows phone 10 & windows 10(desktop)). The architecture between 8.0(which should be dead to everyone now), 8.1 and 10 is quite different. The 8.0 didn't have a universal concept and a different build would be required between the different 8.0 platforms(phone and desktop), 8.1 offered the first concept of universal applications between phone and desktop, windows 10 further this by changing the architecture further. If you want to target 8.1 and 10, build the 8.1 universal for the windows store, if you want to just target 10 and not 8.1, choose the windows 10 universal.
