Go for the 370 degree C one.
That's the Mil spec temperature, in other words, the temperature that military electornics
engineers use for a very reliable solder connection. Too high a temp and the flux will
evaporate and the solder not flow out well enough, to low a temp and it takes longer for
the solder to melt, the danger here is due to the longer heat transfer, more heat goes into
your delicate electronic parts, with higher risk of damage.
