Confusion On UHD Firmware Selection

I recently bought an official UHD drive, LG WH16NS60. It has firmware 1.03. When I used the sdftool flasher to read the firmware I got this:
dump_user_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS60_1.03_212005081010_KLDKAMN4800.tar
I believe this is encrypted, correct?
After much reading, I think I have two choices of firmware to flash with:
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.03-NM00600-212005081010.bin from the "mk-firmware-pack" or
HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin from the "All you need firmware pack".
Which of these should I use if I want to enable libre drive support for ripping 4K UHD discs? Thanks!

Flash the WH16NS60 1.02 (with "enc?" checked).

Thanks for the quick reply. May I ask what the 1.03 version in the MK pack does or how's it different?

LibreDrive:

IIRC, the version in the MK pack enables your drive to be a LibreDrive.

I thought libre drive mode was what you wanted or needed to rip UHD discs. Does the firmware that was suggested in the first reply not enable libre drive?

Ns60 1.02MK enables libre drive so does 1.01 mk and 1.00 de
