Default Philips 168 bulb choices, which one?

One of my tail lights is out, I've used the manual to identify the light, the bulb number. I googled changing the light, searched it here as well, got lots of good ideas and advice.

Here's my question. I just want to replicate what's already there, not looking to mod the appearance. Both of these bulbs seem to be the item I want.

Philips Longer Life 168 @ 4.99 / 2pk

Philips CrystalVision Ultra 168 @ 10.99 / 2pk

Is there really that much difference?

Get the longlife 168's. These are for park lights only. It will not give you "more" illumination. Save the money.
