The top one is the standard GT45 that everyone uses. I bought that same one from that same seller a couple of years ago.

U can get them for 189 shipped if you look around on Ebay. IMO the Gt45 will make for a poor choice on a rear mount setup. They have a much larger exh housing/wheel and will be slower to spool. Also use really old wheel design. Better off with the $300 T76 with the .68AR t4 housing an p-trim 65mm exh wheel.

I'd probably go with the smaller .68 ar on a remote kit.
