Quick resistor query

I'm having some difficulty finding 1W resistors locally but can get hold of 0.6W and 2W ones easily enough.
Would any of those 2 be suitable?
If so, which ones. The 0.6W or the 2W?
Ta in advance

Not knowing the circuit it is going in, makes an intelligent decision impossible. So if 1W was what you wanted but can't find, then you should go to 2W and have some margin. Perhaps you can give us more information to help you make a better decision.

I should have made my post a little clearer.
I'm looking for resistors to fit between the +12 and 5v feed on my bosch sensor's(IAT/Water temp),TPS and map sensors so the Dash2 and DL1 can recognize the signal.

The 2W ones will be fine

That's what i needed to know.
Thanks folks

I forgot to ask.
What load ratings should i be looking for
1K ohms?
or some other rating??

Anyone got any idea as to which resistors I'll need.
I'm currently unable to get the bloody thing working/reading sensors without this little bit of much needed info.
Wanted
Stack ST81XX dash and logger sytem.
Will swap/PX for a relatively new/low mileage (160ish miles of use on a demo car) Dash2 and DL1 if I can't get it set up and working in the car.
