The package does offer a completing-read interface in
flyspell-correct.el as a default.
The -helm and -ivy packages use the completion interface's extra
features to select the extra options ("Save", "Accept (session)",
"Accept (buffer)", "Skip", et. al.). For example to save the word with
the Ivy interface one can start the correction then press M-o s (the
equivalent on Helm is C-o RET).
The -ido interface additionally lets a user select replacements by
entering the corresponding number, similar to the M-x ispell interface.
I briefly described the -avy-menu interface in my last post.
-popup uses a little popup at point to select actions (with the popup
package already in NonGNU).

If you decide some of these extra interfaces are superfluous, I think
there is still benefit from having the base flyspell-correct package in
NonGNU.
