You're asking about two different things. The first one you linked to is an 18mm module, that comes with the lens you linked to in the second link. The third link is also a lens, but Aixiz's.

What to get? Well, what do you want? I like the first module because it's bulkier and can be used as the heatsink rather than having to put one of the 12mm modules into another heatsink. The caveat to this is that many of the hosts are made for the 12mm module.

Which lens to get? I've heard that the o-like lens (2nd link) is better than the Aixiz lens in the third link. However, the Aixiz lens in link three is a full-threaded lens (in spite of the photo), which allows it to work with focusing rings.

If you want to get the O-like lens, I would get it in the module in the first link. It only adds $2.50 to the cost of the lens, and the module is quite nice. You can always swap the lens into a 12mm housing if you need to. Also consider buying the 10-pack of 12mm (Aixiz) modules if you're buying from O-like.
