What hatch lift support to get?

Looking for rear hatch supports for my '04 Cooper S, I see the website below, three different struts.
Which one should I be purchasing?

The AMS 4360 is a trunk lift support
the AMS 6309 is a hood lift support, and
so is the Sachs SG202008

I prefer ECSTuning or PelicanParts as they give a little better
choice and identification of the parts, including OEM brand ones.

We have had several people buy them from the aftermarket companies and they don't fit. Had one guy that got them from 3 different places.

We keep the correct ones in stock and ready to ship

I have the ams on mine, work fine fit perfect. They are quite strong though when new so i had to let my hatch up slowly. They are made in the USA by the way.
