It depends on league setup. If you actually have other foreign leagues or Indy leagues active.
International only applies to players who are in a different country then your league who aren't free agents. If not they count as major leaguers. And if you can't trade for them then only helps if the teams post them. In my 2 ootp19 files think I've seen 3 posted players in 10-15 years over both files.
Amateur covers your draft and international free agents because they have 0 professional service time and are amateurs.
Majors is everyone in your league plus all free agents with 1 day of service time. Mostly everyone except draft picks that dont get drafted.
Minors everyone in your leagues minors.
I usually get scouts who favor ability just because they happen to be the best at minors. Since I usually trade I want the best minor league guy.
Majors is important for free agency. Especially if you have the indies and foreign leagues active. If they played 1 day then they count as Majors for scouting. You might only be signing them to your minors but for scouting they count as majors if they have 1 day of service time.
I want excellent Amateur coverage as well for draft and signing IFA every year. I mean IFA is like a top 5 draft pick that just cost you $5 million. Even if you don't keep them they can be traded for a top prospect who is mlb ready now or next year. If you promote and trade immediately. Before they play a game and lose value.
If you are doing a lot of prospect swapping then Minor scouting is that much more important.
So a lot has to do with how you play and how your universe setup
