Without knowing which actual parts you're talking about, it's impossible to see what the differences are. Are they from the same manufacturer? Are they made of the same materials? Is one priced in quantities of 10000?

It will be used with breakout boards, breadboards and perfboard.

I've been known to buy extra-long female socket header strips and cut them to length. I cut one pin extra because that pin gets crushed; then I file down the broken ends smooth, and no one's the wiser.What, it's not like the whole damn strip is going to just crumble if you hold your pliers funny near it.
