To open a device via a GstDeviceProvider use the GstDevice it offers:
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/gstreamer/gstdevice.html?gi-language=c#gst_device_create_element
The classes listed by a provider are just unsorted categories. "Video/Source" and "Source/Video" can be seen as identical.
They exist to allow for filtering ( gst_device_monitor_add_filter(monitor, "Video/Source/something", NULL); ).
I am not familiar with these source elements so i cannot comment on them specifically.
If you get muliple elements for a piece of hardware you can probably choose the first one and be fine.
Alternatively you will have to look at the offered properties to make decisions programatically e.g. device.api = mediafoundation.

Subject: How to select the device-path for videosrc
My laptop has 1 integrated cam, but when I run gst-device-monitor-1.0.exe to get device path, there are 2 device-paths for same device, and it seems one device-path is for ksvideosrc, it class is "class : Video/Source", the other one is for mfvideosrc, class is "Source/Video". My question is how to programally select a correct device for mfdevice? I pasted a part of output of "gst-device-monitor-1.0.exe" as below:
Device found:
