overrocking

Okay I am still very new and have yet to turn my first pen as I am still collecting the tools needed (Saw and Drill press).
I picked up a Ryobi mini 18 lathe for a song and have a pen mandrel question.
From what I have read the Lathe has a #1MT (I will verify with calipers later) and a 3/4" 16tpi threaded head stock.
PSI has mandrel kits in both configurations abd both the same price so
Which one is better, easier to use, less likely to break, etc...
