The second one of your links I've used and found them great

Stainless isn't high tensile, but there not that tight, however if you pick up a thread on s/s there a bugger to get the nuts off. Stainless can bind up unbelievably but being careful and some copper slip and you should be fine with the second ones.

That's the one thing that I detest about stainless steel threads

First ones are crap...two different size threads, one of them for an 8mm nut to hold the flange on. Second one looks OK but I would be tempted to go with OM and just maintain them with copper slip.
