Part Number: LP2985A

What is the difference between LP2985AIM5-... and LP2985A-... ?
Both are available and seem to be exactly the same product (although there are two different datasheets).
What should I specify in the BOM for a new serial production PCB?

I made the table above with our LDO quick search tool which can be found here:

I hope this answers your question.
