which type of hong kong octopus card do i buy?

Question

hi,my friend and i will be travelling to HK but we only have 1 day to walk around.i had actually planned to take the MTR from airport to Wan Chai Station,then to Tsim Sha Tsui and then switch to take the normal star ferry to Central before taking the MTR again back to the airport.as such,i would like to ask:1) which type of octopus card do i buy? if i get the airport express card,do i opt for single ($250) or double journey($350)? does the single trip include back and forth journey from the airport?2) do i need to top up extra value into the card since i am taking the ferry?if so,do i top up at the airport or at the ferry terminal? can the ferry tix be purchase by cash too?thank you in advance :)

You don't need to purchase the AE Travel Pass. Same Day Return Ticket is suitable for you. This kind of ticket contains one Return journey between Airport and the station specified. Valid on the day of issue. You can purchase it at any Airport Express Customer Service Center or Ticket Issuing Machine. About the AE Travel Pass, the single trip ticket only contains one way AE trip. If you take the ferry and MTR, you can just buy the ticket used cash.
