i bought the top ones.

the bottom ones "look" diffeent, and other than the lame looking bolt holes, dont look any better or worse, IMO.

price wise, you are paying $15 more for the bottom ones AND $10 more on S&H...

with that $25 you could paint the powder coat to match anything you want it

The top ones are stamped and the bottom are welded. My guess is the bottom ones are going to be stronger, but keep in mind your stock shackles are welded, too.

For the purpose that a shackle is used, the top ones would do fine.
