You need High Speed for 1080p, 3D, and 4K. You need High Speed with Ethernet if you also need Ethernet.
Standard HDMI cables are only certified to handle 720p and 1080i.
Many manufacturers and retailers mistakenly market High Speed cables as being "v1.4" (and previously as "v1.3"), but the version is actually meant for the interface not the cable. A so-called v1.3 cable would be just as good for 3D as a so-called v1.4 cable, as both would likely actually just be High Speed cables (and the actual bandwidth for v1.4 is the same as for v1.3).
