They are identical,in function,purpose,material,except for the facts that the bolt-ins use to shocks' lower mount bolt as part of the re-lo and the weld-ins don't,because they're weld in and don't have to rely on the shock mount for positioning.
Welding them in incorrectly can/will cause rearend alignment problems.

I prefer weld-in relocation brackets in applications were the car is going to be raced, if it is just a street car and is not making a ton of power and is not raced too much than bolt-in relocation brackets are generally a better option.

Anytime I sell weld-in relocation brackets I make sure the customer has adjustable LCA's just in case they aren't welded perfectly which happens more times than not and can be fixed with the adjustable lCA's.

No, bolt in.
So you can take them out when you figure out they don't help handling and may put you into a different class.
