I think PetMate is your best bet for a plastic crate. Of the two you posted, I would get the Vari kennel. It looks sturdier. There's also the Pet Porter, which I have experience with. The doors are very sturdy. The weak point is the plastic where the door sits; that will break before the door does, but it will take one hell of a beating and prying to actually cause it to fail so I wouldn't worry about it.
If you think part of his anxiety comes from being in a small area, go with the larger crate.
They are a bit more difficult to clean than wire crates because you have to get inside them. Put it in a room where it is easy to get it outside if you think he might pee in it (so you can dump the pee outside or hose it out).
I think your best bet would be a plastic crate like this. They're not collapsible to the same degree a metal or fabric crate would be, but you can usually take the top off and turn it over so it nests in the bottom half.
Why wouldn't you just get a carrier that is made for your dogs size? Something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MT5AS6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_JmPyDbND453KR
