the first says 2 1/8" string spacing and the second says 2 3/16".

which is the right one to use for my warmoth tele?

No, they are are not the same. I have one of each. And decided to go with the Gotoh bridge. You will notice that the Gotoh bridge mounts with 4 screws ahead of the string thru-holes. The modern bridge mounts with 3 screws behind the string-thru holes. If your body is already drilled you only have to check where the holes are drilled and that will make your decision for you.

The best Tele bridgeplate to use though is the Callaham, if you can afford it. I originally ordered the Gotoh bridge from Warmoth, but changed my mind as my parts were on the way. I ordered the Callaham and when that and my Warmoth parts came in, I could compare directly. There is really no comparison... the Gotoh is a nice piece for the price, but the Callaham is about 5 times nicer (at 3 times the price).
