Either one will work fine unless you are very small then only use the 1 inch but I would think you should be able to use either

i would use 1.5" to be safe if you do not inject completely in the muscle you risk cellulitus ( spelled wrong). which is an infection of the skin.

As long as you reach nice and deep into the muscle it does not really matter, both will hurt just as much when they go in, but the depth that it goes in does not cause any more or less pain. Personally I like the 1.5 inch as it allows you to go in just over an inch without pushing the whole needle in.
