Which one of these addons do I need?

I'm trying to decide between the two addons linked below. I wish to quickly switch between a list of alternate accounts. I will simply tie them all to my admin account. But I want to:

1. Be able to switch rapidly in as few steps as possible

2. Be able to link dozens of alts to the Admin account (if I need to)

3. Pick from a list of my linked alts, without having to type anything each time I want to switch.

I'm hoping that someone here has experience with both of these addons, and can tell me which one best suits my needs:

[XenConcept] Linked Accounts XenConcept

Looks like it no longer exists. You can still get it for 2.3, but I'm on 2.2

I have Post As User and it's much easier to do than TikTak's change content owner or Login as User (though I have both of them as well for different uses, like changing after the fact or investigating errors users may have).

I'm running it on 2.2 with the current version listed (2.1.3).

Works for replies (as shown) and new threads once the permissions are set to be able to use it.

You just need to determine if you want to login as the user to make the post (or other actions) or simply want to post a thread/reply as a user. That would pretty much be the determining factor.

Login As User might be more up your alley, but you can't just create a "list", you need to click a link, type in the name, and swap. Then, swap back to admin. Also, I think it's free, which is a plus, if you can live with typing the username you want to interact with as opposed to swapping between linked accounts.
