I think only ΔG‡

The rate of a generic bimolecular reaction can be expressed as
rate=k*e^(-(ΔG‡)/(RT)

ΔG‡ is the activation energy and its value effects both the forward and reverse reactions.

The other three notations are different variations of Gibbs Free energy. DeltaG generally looks at the spontaneity of a reaction in the direction it is written (or reverse) not bi-directional.

the naught usually refers to at 1 atmosphere of pressure
and the naught prime at 1 atm and standard temp.
