Either will work... the real key to making them work every time you pull the trigger is to use a brass capper with a back spring to push them on really snug and the pull the capper straight out from the cap not back.  I even then tip the capper to the side and push on more if it will go.  Installing the cap with it all the way on the post is the real key to get it to go off every time.

Next the nipple must hold them tight!!! if it does it will go off and it will be pretty much water proof...  The capper and the nipple I am using are shown in this picture...

nope - not if you get them on the nipple all the way and tight so they do not back off. And using T7-3f as it is a bit easier to ignite...
