Be aware that for a K-1 visa, Form I-134 is used for the Affidavit of Support.
The CR-1 Immigrant Visa uses Form I-864.
If you go with a K-1 visa, the I-864 will be used as the Affidavit of Support during your adjustment of status once inside the USA and married.
The I-864P is a guideline to the requirements for the I-864. The I-134 can be a bit more lenient.

M,
Which is it? K1 or immigrant visa? Two very different things.

Not in regards to income requirements. Regardless of whether it is the K visa and later the I-485 or the K visa and later the CR-1, for both the I-134 and I-864 he needs to earn 125% of the poverty guidelines for the appropriate size family.

Rete,
The following is from 9 FAM 40.41 (Public Charge) Notes, N4.6-3 Use of Form I-134, Affidavit of Support. I have added the emphasis to certain portions of the quoted text:
b. If any of the following applicants need an Affidavit of Support to meet the public charge requirement, they must use Form I-134, as they are not authorized to use Form I-864:
(1) The self-petitioning spouse of a deceased U.S. citizen, and any
children there from (see INA 204(a)(1)(A)(ii));
(2) The self-petitioning spouse of a U.S. citizen, and any children there
from, who has been battered by or subjected to extreme cruelty
perpetrated by the spouse (see INA 204(a)(1)(A)(iii) and (iv));
(3) Returning resident aliens;
(4) Diversity visa applicants; and
(5) Fiancé(e)s.
c. The simple submission of Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, however, is
not sufficient to establish that the beneficiary is not likely to become a
public charge. Although the income requirements of Form I-864, Affidavit
of Support Under Section 213A of the Act, do not apply in such cases
(e.g., the 125 percent minimum income), you must make a thorough
evaluation of other factors

But the actual number might be different if they plan on living (once she enters) in Alaska or Hawaii. And do we know if the sponsor is on active duty in the armed forces?
