Now with the alternate Ben's differences must be considered. Mattwo has already established the Dimensions are like planes which differentiates them Ben 23 from all the other Ben's. We see Paradox refer to them, at least the other good Ben's as alternate timelines, to which he is correct. The difference between the Gwen 10 from Omniverse and the Gwen 10 from the original series (besides one being a what if and the other a canon product of the story) is that the OS Gwen 10 is an alternate universe. Actually Paradox mentions a few of these in Ben 10'000 Returns in Ultimate Alien. A universe where Albedo was stuck as Alien X for a year, a universe where Gwen got the Omnitrix. In Fore of Creation we full on see another universe which Paradox states has "terrible laws of physics" (variation of quote)

This implies something different about the overall structure of the universe. I'd actually reverse what I said above. I believe OS Gwen 10 is actually an alternate timeline whereas OV Gwen 10 is an alternate universe. If you notice their Omnitrixes' are different not to mention the Omntrix symbol in OV is different than the original Omnitrix signal in OS on Gwen's aliens. Also OV Gwen has an Arburian Pelarota, something the original Omntrix does not have unlocked when it comes down and considering it seemed they (Ben, Max and Gwen in OV) were still in the forest that at least looked similar to the one the Omnitrix fell in it seems closer to the time of finding it.

Ben 10'000 obviously is an alternate (now future) timeline.

Now with evil Ben's it gets harder. When don't know anything about Bad Ben to know much but from his hair, eye and overall color scheme it seems he is an alternate universe, whereas it has been confirmed Benzarro and Mad Ben are alternate universes. Nega Ben is unknown as we don't have any info on him and Albedo of course is from the Prime Universe. Eon is an alternate timeline version of Ben. His servants, at least in Ultimate Alien, are also different timelines.

There's a quote from Derrick differentiating dimensions from the others, I'll see if I can find it.
