 Both pair are o.k. for light use, if you plan on striking or front snaps you may want to avoid the ball bearing swivels, they are not known for their durability, but they spin very fast.  :thumb:

Take a look at those. You're probably better off with the corded pair, as they will be less likely to fail and easier to fix if they do. But the chain nunchaku I posted also have no swivels or ball bearings to break. You just won't have as much control with them as you would with the cord. They also come with round sticks, and you can get them in black just like the ones you posted. They just don't have any designs on them.
