np - I can tell from the rest of the thread you don't have a lot of experience with this.
I suggested compression fitting because you don't need to solder/sweat it for installation and it's inexpensive.
Since the thread progressed I'd recommend you go with the SharkBite instead.
It' more expensive but much easier to install.
Just cut the pipe square without damaging it and clean it off.
Push the stop over the clean end until it 'seats' and that part is done.
1/4 turn stops seem to be less prone to leaking around the handle and are easier to operate.
(no multiple turning of the handle)
Again, a little more expensive but worth it.
In my area a four pack is <$35 - a decent price and a couple to spare for the next sink.
If you're not going to do this again just get the two you need for now.
