Can anyone explain the differeces between CCA, CAP and RDA analysis and plots and how or in which basis to choose which to use?
It is a complex topic and in my opinion would be very difficult to explain it in few words. However, there is a very good review article by Alban Ramette, it helped me a lot. You might find it useful

Thank you! yes, I know it is a complex topic, but I hoped may be someone could give me a few tips, or at least broad recommendations as to when and why one or the other should be or cannot be applied.
I will look at the paper you recommended anyway, but even when I read a lot about this, it's difficult for me to put it in simple microbiological words so to speak, and get lost in statistical vocabulary that prevents me from understand what I need :(
This may sound like heresy, but getting to far into the details will get you lost in the weeds of technology. We work with over 3,000 species of microbes (bacteria, yeast, fungi and protozoa) silmultaneously. We focus on the whole system; not on the details. See if there is enough information to start to develop control equations and what parameters are relevant. This approach has allowed us to begin the industrialization of the microbiome to produce protein and lipids using waste organic biomass as a feedstock.
