Seeking advice on selecting an ethylene compressor!

Export conditions: Pressure (abs) 4.72 MPa, temperature: 63.9°C. Is it better to choose 2 reciprocating machines (1 in use and 1 as backup) or 1 centrifuge? :) Flow rate: 368 m3/h.
The flow rate is too low; how can one choose a centrifugal compressor? It’s obvious that a reciprocating compressor is the appropriate choice
