and
Extractor Rod, .45 Cal., Early One Piece Style, Used, Blue
which one should I go for?

The correct one for a 1917 is the one piece Rod integral with the knob. Overall length is 2.903" +/-.
If the rod in your gun doesn't have a separate collar, and I don't think it will, because the skinny knob will slip out of the yoke with the cyl from the rear.
Because of the large mushroom knob, the ext rod must be screwed in from the front. So you'll need the separate 3/16" collar shaped like a top hat that goes between the large spring and the rod. But you just cut 3/16" off the back end of your rod for a collar to use.
