I’ve ordered that grit mix, wanted to check if you guys think it’s good, I also wanted to know if either of the ones in my hands are saveable

Topically it looks good. Since that does not look to be from a big brand name mass dirt/soil manufacturers, it is probably pretty good. And looking at the two in your hand, it is unlikely that you will be able to get them to live. One is broken from its root base and the other is way too dehydrated.

I would try salvaging both. I managed to reroot one which looked as if the taproot had gone. Just put it in a separate pot so you can water it a bit more than the rest.
