It was recommended to me months ago and now it got two options. Which version should I pick?

The main difference between those two models is the input voltage they accept. ACAAB is full range accepting 100-240VAC input meaning it will work in all countries and the other ACABW-B only accepts 200-240VAC meaning it won't work in countries with lower power voltage (such as North America). 

 

The full range one ...ACAAB is better.

If youre not planning to travel with PC, the 230V  if fine. If you're in Philippines.

I see. The voltage is just the difference, not its performance or whatever makes it good?

It's not really good, but adequate PSU for lower end, considering the PSU tier list.

But yes, seems input voltage range is the only difference.

Now actually checking the cultists list - the full range MWE Bronze v2 is in the B-tier, but MWE Bronze v2 [230V only] is in tier C. https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

Perhaps someone more savvy would be more precise than me why thqat is...
