    You can also get them from Digikey direct. How are you making out with the sim?

    The difference between them is
    - Detent (Y/N)
    - Push button presence (Y/N)
    - Terminal style (pins/lugs)

    I guess you want detents and push button won't hurt even if you don't use it now. Lugs are easier to solder to but pins are fine as well.

    These are all quadrature incremental type. As far as I understand they all work with OC hardware.

    Technically, quadrature output is 2-bit Gray code.
