Which type of stress should i use

In my model pressure is being applied to the top surface of a cube. ( say pressure is applied along z axis )
I want to study the the variation in stress perpendicular to the pressure ( x axis ). To make it clear , pressure is applied along z axis , to the face of the cube in xy plane . I am trying to find stress variations along x axis.
Now i don't understand which which how to find the stress along the x axis. The options available are First Principal stress , piola kirchoff stress , von mises stress etc.
Plz tell me which of these is applicable in the above case i have mentioned.
I have another basic doubt , wats the difference between surface stress plot and volume stress plot ? And to study variation of stress along x axis i have to use 'Cut line' in the surface stress plot or in the volume stress plot ?
Thanks in advance
