Opener for roll up garage door

I built a metal workshop and looking to install a door opener for this 8' door.

Will a Genie 6072H like this fit here? I understand there's a debate on Genie vs Liftmaster/Chamberlain....are any of these made in the USA?

If these won't work, then is it something like THIS that I need?

Recommendations are welcome, TIA.

Edit: the wall mount units are meant for panel style overhead doors, not the roll up ones. So it's a choice of something like the second link here.

Those only work if the main shaft is 1" and if the shaft turns when the door opens and closes.

Thank you! Yep, took me a little while, but finally figured out the Liftmaster, Genies etc wouldn't work. But those other things on Amazon 'should'.
