Get the one that looks best to you, because they are 99% just for looks on a 49 mm front end anyways.

If you have wobbles, cure the problem, a fork brace is a band-aid not a cure.

If you are experiencing wobble it is not due to fork flex, your 49 mm forks are not long enough to flex that much, you have another issue that needs to be remedied.
