Elring Rear Main Seal 900

I ordered an Elring Rear Main Seal from FCP Groton and was just reading the FAQs and found this:

Seal Choices: [Matt L./Rolyak] There are two rear seals available: one is 10mm thick (red: silicone) and the other (grey or brown: Viton) is 7mm. The more expensive Viton will last much longer than the silicone rubber material. The 10mm is stock and the 7mm is replacement.

Here is the seal URL at fcpgroton:

Which seal will I be getting, silicone or Viton? Does anyone have experience with the Elring Rear Main Seals?

Thank you.
