12x would be perfectly fine, Bluray needs 1x for just standard playback.
If you do copying of blurays then a 16x would make a difference.

You wont feel the difference unless copying the disks. For just play back blurays 12x is more then enough.
The ASUS Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM 4MB Cache SATA Blu-ray Burner BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Contains the software needed for bluray playback, the other model does not.

If you have a SATA cable then you can download VLC media player to allow playback of blurays. However many bluray commercial bluray disks are encrypted and VLC doesn't have means of playing those back.
For the simplest hassle free playback get the one with the software disk
