Sprocket with hub or without?

I was just looking at different sprockets to put on the Toughbox output to change our ratio while still using the Toughbox and KOP wheels/wheel sprockets. I was wondering what kind of difference an FRC team would see between a sprocket with a hub and one without. The ones provided in the KOP have hubs but what advantage do they convey, the force of the key spread over greater area?

Basically my question is, are we going to see a difference between something like McMaster part 2299K314 and 6793K133 in this application?
If you can't tell I'm heading into EE not ME
