Important things:
  • Genuine FTDI chip (usually FTDI FT232RL)
  • Adjustable voltage level 1.8V, 3.3V (required) 2.5V, 5V (optional)
There is also this, but I wouldn't pay an extra $2 for 2.5V.

OTOH, your preference for switch vs. jumper may decide.
I wonder though...if I don't hear or see any indication that USB is doing anything, will this device and serial console/software help? *Should* I see the device start-up in my terminal connected through the device and provide a sort of debug session/terminal to watch it boot? What do I connect to once I have it opened up?
