I think one is aluminum based and the other is copper based.  The copper
based one is for higher temperature applications like spark plugs and
exhaust nuts (which you can also buy in copper, btw.).  The aluminum one
should be fine for cooler locations like most of the screws holding the
tin on, etc.
