Not enough information, what skimmer will this be on?

It will be on a old unnamed skimmer. looks more like a old DIY or a old Oceanic. I just want the best pump of the two I can get them for 10$ new from a Buddie and wanted to know what one I should use.

For $10 each buy them both and sell the one you don't keep.

Exactly. Thats why I want to know what one to keep.

Reaction chamber size, height and neck size will matter, both of those are capable of running an 8-10" body and a 4" neck. Too small of a neck and too much pump and foam production suffers.
