Doesn't matter , nnupatcher will do just fine
It matters because mine are Fake Sign, Eshop doesn't recognize that I have the game. When I enter Eshop it tells me if I want to BUY the game. So my only option is trying to run the game from the main menu, and then is supposed to ask me if I want to update the game, but I can't because I haven't update my console yet.

Strange , it should ask you when trying from main menu even if your console isn't updated ...

You can download and install game updates using Wii U USB Helper.
Is it better than uTikDownloadHelper?

It's a matter of preference, but most people seem to prefer Wii U USB Loader. It also includes more features and a better GUI.
I'll try it with a digital game because each time I try to run a digital game I always need to run CFW. That's annoying.

You must run CFW every time before running and/or installing any of the following types of games:
  • Digital Wii U games that didn't get disc releases
  • Virtual Console games
  • Games with illegitimately installed DLC
  • Homebrew channels
The following do not require CFW to run/install:
  • Wii U games with disc releases
  • Updates
