Question W126 Front Caliper Types

According to the parts palaces there are two (possibly 3) front caliper types: Bendix and Girling/(also sometimes referred to as "ATE")...

If I'm replacing both my front calipers on the 1988 420SEL which ones do I buy? Presume they are both loaded calipers (w/pads included).

If I replace the entire caliper assembly does it even matter? Should the front barke lines be identical?

Thanks!

& Cheers!
