Suitable Regulators??

I am in need of a new regulator for my CO2 dispense.
I'm trying to clarify if the two regulators I have linked below are suitable.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

the second one ( side entry ) is the one most common with folks with corny's etc I think.

However both look suitable.

Thanks pd....just wanted to be sure before I shelled out.
I left my other one out in the rain and the adjustment screw has rusted up while set to force carb pressure :whistle:

look for one with a output gauge with low value increments on the psi scale, some are in 4-5psi increments which make it tricky to set specific pressures, my welders reg output guage is in 2psi increments so they do exist, if its an extra fiver its worth it.. otherwise you can knock up an inline gauge for about a tenner of ebay fitting a pressure gauge with a 1/4"bsp thread onto a JG fitting i could only find a 3/8" JG to 1/4"bsp M fitting so i joined it to the guage with a f/f barrel nipple, its a useful bit of kit to have allowing u to plug it into a keg disconnect and check the pressure if stored off gas, or inline with a T or a Y to check a pressure
