Ttartisan 17mm f 1 4 vs ttartisan af 17mm f 1 8 air?

Both are 17mm primes for APS-C, and on Sony E, Fujifilm X or Nikon Z they frame like 26mm on full frame. The difference is in how they focus and how much light they gather.

The TTArtisan 17mm f/1.4 is my pick for low light and thinner depth of field. It's manual focus only, but it also fits L-Mount and Micro Four Thirds, where it frames like 34mm.

The TTArtisan AF 17mm f/1.8 Air is the easier everyday lens. It has autofocus and a slower f/1.8, and it only fits Sony E, Fujifilm X and Nikon Z. Choose it if you want to shoot without fiddling with focus.

Neither is stabilised. If you're new to primes, your first lenses explains why a fast standard prime is worth having.
