The ECE bar is 1.25". The end link bar is 1.125". So the ECE bar is thicker. Some prefer the way the ECE bar mounts to the top of the lower control arm using the factory pre-drilled holes that are there. I think I saw a lot of GM trucks at the salvage yard, so it is a common way to hook up a sway bar. I think someone said once that with the end link style there might be tire interference in hard cornering (but I think it was only with drastically lowered trucks with certain tire/wheel combinations). Maybe someone else can back me up on that or set me straight if I'm wrong.
FYI - You can find your own ECE style bar at a salvage yard and just buy new bushings. Total cost would be under $60 plus your time.
