I have a Garmin 530W, and these are the data cards that are in it. I want to buy a spare nav database data card, but from what I understand there are different versions, and not all of them work with the 530W. What exactly do I want to look for when buying a spare?

Garmin cards.

Looks like Western US {a guess, all my data cards have been green (430) or orange (430W)} and Terrain.
 
Oh, and the orange card I get is for the entire Americas.
 
Can older cards be used as well? Trying to find a used one, and not spend $210 on a new one.

Silver with Jeppesen label yes for navdata. Just checked ebay and the used ones were going for only $220. The terrain cards are not cross-compatible, but they're much cheaper if you want a spare.

I don't think I need an extra terrain card. I'd rather spend $210 for a new nav card than $220 for a used one!
