#1 will work as those are 12 volts, but #2 will not work. The ones that are cuttable every 3 feet or so are 120 volts and are meant to be used for home lighting. I tried them and they will not work on 12 volts DC.

Remember too fuse them correctly. They draw very little voltage but can still be dangerous if not fused correctly. When I install some LED's on a previous boat I didn't think such a small draw could cause problems but it certainly can.
I had to go back and add the correct fuses.

On the subject of Voltage. Remember that LED's are Light Emitting DIODES. They will only pass current in one direction. Think of it as a one way valve for electricity, much like a check valve works for hydraulics. They will not light if the current is flowing in the wrong direction. So if your brand new installation doesn't work, try reversing the positive and negative wires before you take it back to the store.
If anyone wants a really nice description of what a diode is and how it works read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode
