The only big change to the chain tensioners is the external spring to help maintain tension on the chain, otherwise there is no need to change them if working properly. I recommend the OP change the easy 2 based on his mileage & budget. The 4-6 cyl tensioner has been "updated" to a lower profile design & I assume this is for increased airflow between it & A/C compressor.
