A "c string" is a standard NULL terminated string, which would be FT_STRINGZ. 
FT_STRING is the same without the NULL terminating byte.  Take a look at
README.developer in the doc directory of the source tree for others.  We don't
support UTF8 very much, but a number of the others have matches such as int32 =
FT_INT32.  The FT_GUID may work for the UUID.  Other types could be FT_BYTES,
which is "a string of bytes with arbitrary values; used for raw binary data." 
If there is a type that cannot fit into anything else defined, it is always
possible to add it to Wireshark's core source code.
