Just taking a quick glance at this, the difference in the Classic versus non-classic version of the same app seems to be its "kind". You may try choosing the preferred app by knowing this. A Classic app has the kind designation of "Classic Application" and a non-classic app has a kind of simply "Application". I'm not sure about a carbonized app's designation.

'kind' is neither an AppleScript keyword, nor a Finder keyword.

You can get some information via the 'info for' instruction.

Example, the Apple's Script Editor:
--
tell application "Finder" to application file id "ToyS" as text
info for result
--
