A standard breakline provides x, y and z values, while a proximity breakline provides x and y, then gets z from the nearest surface point.

 

A 3D polyline or Feature Line would be a Standard breakline, while a 2D polyline would be used as a Proximity breakline (unless it represents a contour).

If you already have correct z values along your breakline, use Standard.
