Default B&M Short Shifter Question

I am about to order a short shifter from hopupracing.com, and they have 2 options to choose from,
45075-BMR Honda Civic 1988-2000; 46% Throw Reduction Straight Stick
&
45047-BMR Honda Civic 1988-2000; 49% Throw Reduction 30%

I'm just curious as to what the main diffrence between the two is? is it just the final position of the shift ****? and if so which one do you all think is the most comfortable?
I don't sit back all ghetto thug like... but I don't like to be too close to the wheel, just a comfortable moderate distance where the shifter will be easy to reach.(if that helps at all)
thanks

I had this one:

45075-BMR Honda Civic 1988-2000; 46% Throw Reduction Straight Stick

In my EF & since it was straight, the shifter almost looked like it was in 1st when it was in N, it took a while to get used to the position, but it's not bad, and it's solid as hell.

I use to have the straight one. I liked it better then the curved one. To me it had a more solid feeling.
