* High Alkaline Frits

The following two glazes are from "The Complete Potter" by Steve Mattison. I'm having trouble knowing which frit to use. Laguna Clay told me to use 3134 for the alkaline frit and high alkaline frit, but then I noticed there is also a borax frit. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
