The staple type is the fitment and the tacker takes one type only. Type-53 and Type-140 are different crown widths and wire gauges, so a Type-140 staple will not feed through a Type-53 magazine however close the leg length happens to be. Reading the type off the tacker before ordering is what avoids a box of 5000 that will not feed.
Leg length is chosen against the material thickness so the crown pulls down flush. A leg too short does not reach through the material into the substrate; a leg too long buckles under the crown rather than driving straight, which leaves the staple proud and bent. Material thickness is measured rather than judged, since the difference between lengths is small.
Type-53 legs here run 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm, which covers fabric and light board at the short end and heavier board and batten at the long. Type-140 is held at 6mm and is the heavier gauge of the two. Both types are held in the same pack quantity so the choice is about fitment rather than volume.
Pack quantity reflects how staples are actually used. They are held in packs of 5000 because a tacker in regular use empties a magazine quickly, and buying a small box is a false economy on a consumable of this kind.
