As you noted, BK is a federal law, filed in a Federal court.
Hence, overall the laws are the same wherever you file.
Some districts of federal courts allow certain regional definitions and exclusions, basically to help the Federal Laws fit with the local customs and such. (Like a community property state compared to one that isn't, is a mobile home real estate or personal property).
You normally can elect to use which ever set, federal or local, you want. Your lawyer should be well versed on which ones are available in your district and discuss which you which may be better for your circumstances. If you don't have a lawyer, just your having to ask a question like this strongly suggests you need one, if for nothing else, just to explain what the differences are, what would qualify you to select, what they mean, and what you have to do with the court to elect them. And some more. On this one point. think there may be others to deal with?

A chapter 13 bankruptcy can be filed if it has been at least 4 years from the date of the discharge of a chapter 7. Nonsense. You can file a chapter 13 the day after the 7 is closed. You may not be eligible for a discharge, but the point of doing a "chapter 20" is usually to dump the unsecured debt in the 7 and use the 13 to get caught up on the mortgage, for which no discharge is necessary.
