Default Which style slip yoke for my 4L80E? Does it really matter?

I have two yokes in front of me for my 4L80E. One holds the u-joint in with straps, and the other holds the u-joints in with c-clips. Does it really matter which one I use? My car is an old Jaguar with an LS1, 2.88 gears, and 225 tires. I have a TVS1900 supercharger that will go one one of these days. Most engines like this put down over 500 lb/ft of torque, but I don't know how much of that I'll be able to use with my little 225 tires.

With that being said, will the one with the straps be okay, or do I need the one with the c-clips?

The one on the left looks like a pinion yoke, the one on the right is the trans yoke..

Yea, it seems like if there are going to be straps on a driveshaft, they're usually on the pinion side. The yokes are otherwise identical for the most part.
