Advance auto ignition switchs - any difference?

Searched around and may need a new ignition switch.

Prob: When the key is turned, can't get it to crank. If I turn back the key and re-try, it cranks and starts everytime on second try.

Advance auto lists 3 ignition switches, ranging from $30 to $40.
BWD/Intermotor Ignition Switch
Wells Vehicle Electronics Ignition Starter Switch
Beck/Arnley Ignition Switch

What is the diff? Or will any of them do? Thx.

I would try the technique discussed at 3:48 before replacing it.

I bought the cheapest one recently, and it works... but sometimes I have to jiggle it to get the radio and clock to turn on after the car is started.

Beck Arnley generally rebrands OEM stuff and sells at a fraction of the oem cost.
