Get what fits, at a display where you can try them out. Where's you spare(s)?
Whatever you get, be sure to try a 20° tip. Gets you over most struts 
without the loss of feel from a real long extension.
I've got rather big hands, and when I switched from a regular extension 
handle to a semi-ball-type Renner lever, it shaved 5 minutes of time and 
many points of fatigue off of tunings.
I have spares (cheapies) in three other cases and the shop.

Peace,
Guy
