how do I know if need the lightning digital av adapter or the vga adapter for my tv?

The Digital AV adapter has an HDMI port, and the VGA adapter has a VGA port. So if you need an HDMI port go with the Digital AV adapter, and if you need a VGA port go with the VGA adapter. Most modern TVs use HDMI, but a good number do also have a VGA connector — if you have both options available, HDMI is much higher quality and can carry audio (which VGA cannot) so that is going to be preferable in most situations.
