Which choice is better and why? Westech makes both.

I like 1/8 NPT, that way just in case you would ever need to redo it you can always drill out and go 1/4 NPT

1/4" might be a little stronger, but it sure isn't any fun tapping that big of a hole if the manifold. I would have chosen 1/8" if SPA offered that option.

I second the above. Go with 1/8 and it leaves you with more options down the line. My banks was 1/4 and leaves a massive hole and so few others use it.

All you have to do is use a reducer bushing if you need to go to 1/8" after you ran a 1/4"
