The first one says OE and has 24 decent reviews. The other one has no reviews, might be fine, but I'd go with the on with reviews.
 
Same part, different sellers. The one for $61.42 is sold by World Parts Direct, and the $43.40 one is sold by Amazon.
 
And the problem I'm trying to fix on my 2006 Saturn Vue is sometimes when I go to start it, I turn the key to RUN, and none of the lights on the dash come on like they do normally, and if I turn the key further, the engine cranks normally but won't start. It's not an immobilizer issue as it doesn't use a chip key. The switch seems the most logical place to start.

Does it have a relay for the dash lights
 
I had a recall notice on ignition switch but I sold it first with recall letter in glove compartment. I searched online but claimed up to 2004
Won't hurt to call GM and give them your vin to check and they do have special assistance if not. Mine was 06 Vue as well
Got rid of it cause of electrical gremlins
 
Same part. The one listed under D1432F has one in the Warehouse Deals for $8

If you're going to pay the full price $40, get it from Rock Auto instead.

Don't these cars have trash body control modules?
 
Plan now is to replace the ignition switch. If that doesn't fix it, pull the BCM and open it up to check for cold solder joints or burned components. I also see rebuilding services for $129 over a new one so you don't have to program it.
