Until we know that 311 nm is rather benign, we must assume that using a stronger UV source is more likely to induce cancer. While I don't know about the size of the effect here, in general you try to use the lowest possible dose when medicating.
The PDF also says that D3 is produced from lights all the way up to 320 nm, so the 311 ones sold on Amazon would work. But given the 293 vs 305 effectiveness, how much exposure would you need to actually make a meaningful difference? Probably a lot!
