You cannot link against PluginLib6 and work with a Pro 8-based IDE. So
if you want your plugin to work with both Pro 8 and Pro 9, link against
PluginLib5. PluginLib6 added new functionality for the Pro 9 IDE, but
if your plugin does not use it, you don't lose anything by sticking with
PluginLib5. (New additions In PluginLib6 were for packaging support and
some additional functionality for access paths, I believe.)
