The short answer is, use the Denso style. Now, a fuller explanation: the Denso style are factory and are kind of like this:
They have a narrow top and a wider bottom with a bigger seal at the bottom. The bottom seal isn't really an o-ring... it's more like a flat rubber seal. Bosch style have the top and bottom as the same diameter, and use a true o-ring at the bottom.
If you try to put a Bosch style injector in using completely stock parts:
1) it won't fit at the top (stock fuel rail) without modification because the o-ring bore is too big, resulting in a fuel leak.
2) it won't fit at the bottom without modification because the o-ring isn't the right size to seal, resulting in a vacuum leak.
For anyone else who may be wondering, if you have an aftermarket secondary rail (KG, whatever) a Bosch injector will fit at the top. But you have to install an s5 pintle cap (must be S5, available from Mazdatrix) on the bottom and use the factory grommets.
