Default doorless - which mirrors?

I am looking at a couple of options for mirrors to use for those few occasions which I run doorless. I don't want to spend a lot of money and I want something simple and quick to install.
I am seeing a couple of options:

Olympic 4x4 Products 117-124 - Olympic 4X4 Products Safari Mirrors for 76-14 Jeep® CJ-5, CJ-7 & CJ-8 Scrambler, Wrangler YJ, TJ, JK & Unlimited - Quadratec

or

Lange Originals 023-110 - Lange Originals® Quick Mirror II for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

Any opinions? Other options?

I have the Olympic ones although they vibrate enough to give you a seizure!!! It does help to tighten the bolts on back and they are good for sending replacements but they do still shake quite a bit.

There has to be 100 threads by now on which mirrors to run. The Olympic ones vibrate like crazy. If you want to stay legal, use them. If you actually want to see a clear image, use something else. I use the Rugged Ridge ones permanently and have ditched the factory mirrors.

I run the Rugged Ridge mirrors, they work great. I leave the mounts on year round and just screw in the mirror when I take off the doors. No tools required to put it on.

I also added a small convex mirror to the side of it since its a flat mirror and doesn't have the greatest visibility width wise.
