Please pardon the newbie question. I would like to purchase a new extractor for my Springfield Mil-Spec. When I look online for parts (Midway for example), there seems to be two types from different manufacturers (Ed Brown, Wilson): series 70 and series 80. Which series is the correct series for a full size SA Mil-Spec? Thanks.

Series 80 has a notch cut out for a Colt-style firing pin safety. Springfield Armory doesn't use a firing pin safety, so the one in your pistol is a "Series 70" -- although a Series 80 will also fit.
