Edited while you guys were posting lol. C8.25 and D44 should be considered the same when choosing a DS. Transmission makes a difference.

One thing that isn't similar is the bolt pattern for the brake backing plate. If you plan on swapping to discs there's a thread on NAXJA where a dude welds up and drills new holes.

A double shear replaces the bracket and the TRE and uses a through-bolt on both ends of the bar. This makes a much stronger connection that won't wallow out over time, and it also improves articulation.

A single shear (regular) bar uses a tie rod end that goes through a hole in the bracket.
A double shear replaces the bracket and the TRE and uses a through-bolt on both ends of the bar. This makes a much stronger connection that won't wallow out over time, and it also improves articulation.
