I've used both these (which I like), and these (which I don't really care for).
I'm in the same boat — I brew a lot of hard cider, so in total there are probably 40 or 50 airlocks floating around at any given time. I've been known to steal from the cider supply because I've run out of ones I'm using for fermenting, but never the other way around for the same reasons. I used to mark each piece of the fermenting ones with a Sharpie. Now I just kind of… know which is which depending on where it was washed (upstairs vs. downstairs).
These are the ones I bought

The silicone lid gaskets I have
I don't recall if I used 1/2" or 9/16" as recommended on the grommet packaging.
