 Hi,
I don't have a specific recommendation except to say that you will need to tig weld the adapter to your steering column or otherwise modify it. Seems like an opportunity to "upgrade" the steering components.
Given a choice, I'd pick the "splined" adapters. Some of the hex ones I've driven seem to have not as "positive" engagement.
That said, add a removable steering wheel has been on the "winter list" for probably 10 years. I never seem to get around to actually doing it. That's mostly because I'm chasing other problems that are more of an "immediate" nature.

I use a disconnect hub that pulls to release and a steel splined sleeve
that is welded to the end of the upper steering column.  The sleeve inside
diameter should fit snugly over the end of the column with some
modification.  Weld the bottom of the sleeve onto the shaft.  Welding the
upper end may shrink the sleeve and result in a loose fit of the hub.   Buy
components from the same manufacturer and that will fit your steering wheel
bolt pattern.
