Which one should I get...???
If you're only going to be swapping the rear tires side to side, that won't help anything, in order to rotate the tires properly you need to rotate front to back and back to front, otherwise it's pointless to just rotate them side to side.
the inside part of the tires will always be on the inside if you're swapping side to side.
Also the majority of performance tires nowadays are directional

Of course,you have to take them off the wheels,and rebalance.
So,you end up with the worn part of the tire being now on the outside,and the not so worn part on the inside.
Mounting, dismounting, and rebalancing tires that realistically have a lifespan of less than 30k miles is a waste.
You have either selected the wrong tire, the wrong alignment, or both for your given application.
No one rotates tires by removing and remounting. Not unless they have money and time to burn. Driving a S2000 on tires rated to last 30K miles gives up handling for the sake of a few dollars. My tires would age-out long before 30K miles anyway. I'm content to just get good performance tires every 3 or 4 years.
Asymmetric tires like my Bridgestone S-04s -- and their wheels -- can easily be swapped side to side but I've never seen the need. Tires develop a wear pattern based on their direction of rotation and doing this may increase wear by changing it. And, of course, directional tires have to be dismounted and remounted to swap from side to side.
