Out of the two I would go for the one with grease nipple.
You can never have too much grease in a U/J.

When greasing the U/J if you see grease expelling past the bearing seal(s) - stop or you can displace the seal which will let crud into the joint.

Cheers Phil

I was not aware of the sealed type until I started looking today, I will stick with the grease nipple type.
