Memory Cards - Does it Matter?

A friend of mine moved in with his girlfriend and didn't want to unbox some of his old gaming stuff, so he gave it to me. Included was a Gamecube and Paper Mario: thousand year door. Only thing missing is a memory card.

Am I best just spending $35 on a used official one: https://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Memory-Card-251/dp/B00012D0SG?gQT=2

Or can I get away with using one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWT4FSHJ/?th=1
