Reply to "3v or 5v for MTH 30-1306 ?"

Looking for a speaker for the PS2 3V USRA 2-8-8-2. It looks like MTH does not have the BF-0000034 in stock (there is a link for “Add to Wish List”, but none for “Add to Cart”). I don’t recall the loco having a particularly bad (or good) sound, but I wouldn’t mind making an improvement.

I’ve never messed with speakers in model trains, but after a brief search, I came up the following list of possible replacements. I’m leaning towards the first two (recommended by Norton) or the third (recommended by Engineer Joe).

Does anyone have experience with any of these and can either recommend them or tell me to run away from them? Anyone have other recommendations?
