i would do the 6 36" ones. the other one has some small clamps that will rarely if ever get used. cant speak on quality of those specific clamps because ive never used them. The ones i use are the irwin quick clamps work perfect for me but they cost abit more then those. Thats not a bad deal for six clamps though.

Biglots has 36" clamps for 5 bucks a pop last time i went, they have really good deals on tools.

harbor freight ftw, but don't get the ones that are partially made of plastic, get the metal ones
