Default map question

ive been gathering all my parts together and looking for a 2 bar map. i was wondering if theres a difference between these two maps or if they both work the same? sorry i tried searching but didnt come up with an answer.

The top style is designed to be a push in into the manifold.
The lower is what we use on the turbo Buick applications. [Mounted on the firewall and plumbed w/ hose.]

On the stock truck MAP's there is a white finned piece attached that looks like it is to keep it cool. Is that necessary or can you just mount it directly to the firewall? Also, does it need it's own vacuum source or can you "T" off the BOV? Sorry to hijack. Figured no need to start a new thread if it can be answered with this. Probably some more good info.
