Yes, I recommended the old HD SC Setup because it predates Drive Setup (HD SC Setup was first introduced in 1986). Use HD SC Setup with System 7.1 and earlier. Use Drive Setup with system 7.5 and later:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1249 "Any time you install Mac OS versions 7.6, 7.6.1, 8.0, 8.1, 8.5, 8.5.1, or 8.6 on your computer, you should use Drive Setup 1.7.3 to update the driver on your hard disk again. If you are using a version of Mac OS prior to 7.6, it is not necessary to use Drive Setup 1.7.3 to update your hard disk drive. Note that Drive Setup 1.7.3 was tested with and is supported with System 7.5 through Mac OS 8.6."
