Hi guys, I am installing Coq from source on Ubuntu following the guide here:
https://github.com/coq/platform/blob/main/doc/README_Linux.md#installation-by-compiling-from-sources-using-opam

Regarding this point:

- Get the Coq Platform scripts via either of these methods
  - Most users should download and extract
    https://github.com/coq/platform/archive/refs/tags/2023.03.0.zip.
  - Users which intend to contribute to Coq Platform should use
    git clone --branch 2023.03.0 https://github.com/coq/platform.git.

Which one should I go for if I intend to develop plugins later?

contributing to the Platform is orthogonal to plugin development. I'd go with the zip file.
