Basically there is more than one way to skin a cat when it comes to anti-rattle devices (I've always wanted to work that into an answer). They all basically do the same thing overall but they go about it in a slightly different way and some have pros and cons.

The least expensive part number # MT70258 that you referenced is effective but it has the highest probability of damaging the finish of the hitch since the pressure it puts on the hitch accessory comes from two bolts that will put pressure on the collar of the hitch whereas the U-bolt style part # e99007 would spread the pressure out more and maybe cause less damage to the finish.
