Hi all, my rear deraileur got caught in my chain and got pretty mangled. This is my first time replacing a deraileur, and I've found a few good guides on how to replace the part, but how do I actually choose a replacement that's compatible with my bike? Here's some images of my bike (an old Ross) for context: https://imgur.com/a/wNYqQkH
Would either of these deraileurs work? And how do I know if I need a direct vs hanging mount? Are there other things I need to consider in picking a deraileur that will work with my bike's system?

Thank you so much!
