No offense, but I am extremely amazed that people (believe me, you're not the only one) are that concerned over their appearance. Both of those ties are "plain" in the sense that they likely won't catch anyone's attention in a negative way, unless you're applying for a fashion designer. As long as you're not wearing wacky or old-fashioned ties (you know those patterns), I don't think the interview is going to look twice at your tie.
