switch housing

My key is getting a little sticky, and I suspect I'll be doing this fix soon.
The whole metal ignition housing gun-shaped thing apparently has an original and an updated version, both of which fit, but will not take the same replacement electrical ignition switch component.
How does one tell the difference between the original and the updated housing, so as to know which electrical switch to order? Can this be discerned prior to removing it from the car, so I don't have to "go in" twice?
Is there any advantage to updating to the later housing? If it is a more durable assembly, it may be worth the extra moolah to go ahead and update it while I am in there, as I'm pretty sure I'm sticking with this car for a long time!
