First one you posted is definitely too small, second one will do, but, for the reasons I've mentioned, I'd go with a NEMA23 or a geared NEMA17.

Thanks for your answer.

I think i will go with a geared nema17.
I'll find a way to fix it to the plate. Maybe just higher screws will do the job.

Check that you can get belt pulleys for the shaft of that gearbox. SDP/SI have lots of pulleys with many bore sizes, but it's worth checking before committing to a specific motor.
