In your case, I recommend you buy the uIEC/SD with the daughtercard, but
add the 1x13 connector to the order. The little connector is not much
money, and if you'll want it if you ever decide to embed. I recommend
this course for any modder, since the daughtercard gives the modder a
readymade interface to verify operation of the uIEC/SD if the embedded
wiring doesn't work at first (I know the daughtercard works, I can't
debug someone's wiring.

Of course, for those who mod all the time, buying more than 1
daughtercard is unnecessary, but everyone starts somewhere.
