I want to get rid of my weldless dump valve and try out a silver soldered option. 

 

Think this ferrule will work?

Any reason you chose that one over this one?  I think the one you posted will work but the one below will be stronger because of more surface area.

 

ETA: I am guessing your decision is based on price.

Daym, forgot he had flat ones. I purchased the radius ones for my kettles so Im aware of the quality of this fitting.

I used the flat one this weekend and would go with that over the other one, even for the extra coin.

I feel a silver soldered bottom dump on my conical should be sufficient after using them on my kettles. I might even be able to get some solder on the inside too if I can position the conical to do so.

I assume you will get some inside.  I ground and polished the inside on mine just to be sure.

Some should but some might not. Either way this will work. Thanks.
