Hello @charlie0123 

Both of these adhesives pretty much perform almost the same functions, so I'll just point out some of their differences. The Universal adhesive can be used to tile over existing tiles, the Rubber modified can't. The Universal adhesive is capable of doing large format tiles and can be used in swimming pool applications. The only thing to note is that the Universal adhesive takes much longer to dry off. Plus, the Rubber adhesive has a cover advantage of 1 meter. 

If you don't need all those extra features, then using the Rubber modified adhesive will be perfectly alright.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
