Clarification on firmwares

Hello

I have the following query about firmwares. Got an S5 which was purchased in Germany (Deutsche Telekom)

Now that 6.0.1 is out, I would like to upgrade to it, but I would like to switch to a different firmware, because I want a firware that is vendor-free, not associated to a specific provider (e.g. not startup logo, no bloatware etc). Just retail, as I would get it if I bought the device 'pay as you go' directly from Samsung.

I can see that there are the following 6.0.1 versions of the firmware for my device:

Quote:

2016-06-07
Netherlands (Vodafone)
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FVFG1CPE3
YES

2016-05-27
Romania (Vodafone)
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FVFG1CPE3
YES

2016-05-27
Germany (Vodafone)
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FVFG1CPE3
YES

2016-05-27
Spain (Vodafone)
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FVFG1CPE3
YES

2016-05-13
Nordic countries
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FNEE1CPE1
YES

2016-05-10
Germany
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FDBT1CPE1
NO
The last two (Nordic countries and Germany), don't mention a specific provider. Does that mean that those are 'retail' ROMs, as I described above? Am I good to pick one of those two?

Cheers
