You want a PDIP, the SOIC is very small and hard to solder.

They use fake clone of an old version, maybe the 1.0, of the chip. All these chinese clone are badly done and some does not work because of bad soldering and all. They certainly use an SOIC anyway. Do not touch them. And shipping is $$$ as you noticed.

About the diagram of the interface on the wiki page. If you order on digikey you'll have to know this. I will try to do a better list of components
