Unless you need a good grabbing clutch for performance reasons, I dont really see any reason that one should be chosen over the other.

The 9 bolt one is what I have in my 1 ton, and it is used in the larger trucks.

If the pressure plate surface is heat crazed and blue, you might want to take it to a machine shop to resurface it. I did not do that recently and the truck shuddered when releasing the clutch at a stop.
