Short answer
You want to extend Gdn_Plugin 99% of the time.
Longer answer
This is a classical design pattern for interfaces. Basically, implements Gdn_IPlugin is the the interface you have to implement if you want to make a plugin. It has a few methods and properties that plugins need.
You can implement that interface and make the methods yourself or you can extend Gdn_Plugin which has some default implementations.
Usually, you extend Gdn_Plugin if you aren't already extending another class and you implement Gdn_IPlugin if you are extending another class, but you still want a plugin.
