I don't know what kind of nozzle you need, but a caliper will tell you what the screw is. Many use a 6mm, which is an mk6/mk7, where the mk10 is a 7mm, but has a different inner diameter than the geeetech one. The height of the nozzle vary, so changing nozzles, you may need to change the Z microswitch to change the bed height, then re-tune the leveling. When you change nozzles, expect to have to re-tune all your settings.

Hi thanks for you reply, my current nozzle is the default nozzle that came with the "pro w" so is 0.3 and M6, but it suffered a deformation so i need to change it. this two models that I found are M6 too, but with different tip form and I don't know the difference between them. and i know that any changes will drive to redo the tunning of the printer

For how cheap nozzles are, just go for it! As long as homing leaves the nozzle off the bed, a longer nozzle won't hit it.
I chose to tweak the Z axis micro switch, so I didn't have to level the bed. Shame nobody makes a Z axis switch micro adjuster.
