Default Installing 5" cans

We are remodeling and have chosen to install some 5" cans in the ceiling.

Went to Menards and found a couple of selections by Patriot and Sylvania.

Question:

What type is best to install for remodeling ? Of course all have the spring tabs that spread-out and hold against the dry-wall. But its seems there is the older style of large bare metal cans w/o the baffle included, and then some new styles that require a smaller hole and the baffle and trim are included ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks


A can that has a "heat" safety feature, doesn't cause a fire in the
ceiling and fits?
