U-joint selection

I am ready to install my rear end/drive shaft and have two transmission to drive shaft U-joints to chose from.
They both have no play in the bearings.
one appears to be rebuild-able with wire clips holding the bearings in.
Th other has two castings holding the bearings that are held together with 4 rivets.
Which would be the stronger of the two?
 
Either one will be fine in a stock A,but the later rebuildable type used from late31-48 will be stronger & no rivets to shear.
 
Thank You all for the information.
I am running a B engine with a Riley 2 port head so will go with the rebuild-able one.
