I'm having a really hard time understanding what the difference is between using this plugin and just using babel directly. What's the difference between transpiler: 'babel' and transpiler: 'plugin-babel' Could you please clarify?

This plugin provides Babel 6 support, while transpiler: 'babel' is the internal transpilation layer in SystemJS itself which is being deprecated in the next major and only supports Babel 5.
