If you're planning to use the sink in the post at the end of the last page - with the rolled edge - I don't think either will work. Don't you need one with a vertical front edge?

What you've got sitting there is one for setting into a cut out around all four sides, like a normal sink.
(And although most photos show the front edge aligned with the door fronts, I'd personally have it sitting a little bit further forward. I'd take the annoyance of bumping into it as I rub against the worktop front edge over water dripping over the front and damaging the door underneath.)

I've also clamped the units and then screwed togwther. I prefer not to be able to see the fixings.
Hide some screws under the door hinges. Also at the very top of the cupboard you'll never see screws unless you get on your hands and knees to look. If you're never going to move a shelf up or down, you can place screws where the shelf sits, so the shelf thickness hides the fixings.

As Gingerbeard , if there is a hinge on the mating sides, I'd drill a 4mm hole under the hinge, then clamp and use a 4x35 screw to fix.
If there. Isn't a hinge to hide the screw, then I would use the jointing bolts. With a sharp drill bit, there will be minimal break out, certainly any will be covered by the jointing bolt head.
We would position them, in line with the hinge holes approx 35mm in and at same height as the hinge.

I'm afraid I can't really grown a decent beard.If there. Isn't a hinge to hide the screw, then I would use the jointing bolts. With a sharp drill bit, there will be minimal break out, certainly any will be covered by the jointing bolt head.

This is exactly what the instructions for my B&Q kitchen cabinets suggested - clamp, drill underneath the hinge, countersunk screw.Hide some screws under the door hinges.

It'll get there toxic.
But family is more important.
We are in the final stages of ours and it is stressful, down time to run the project is taking effect now, not to mention the cash it is absorbing and the projects stacking up.
And we have a large exhibition looming towards the end of June as well!
But its half term next week, away from the house, with the family, and good friends, so it can all wait to the begining of June (at least thats what I am telling myself!)
