Hi Ben, we needed to travel from CDG airport in the morning to Central Paris, thereafter travel to Orly Airport in the evening. Which would be the best option - the Navigo Jour day pass? And which zones?

A Ticket Mobilis 1-5 zone is the same transport method coverage as a Navigo Day Pass / Navigo Jour but in the form of a multi-use paper ticket and covers CDG by RER B train and by Roissybus to Paris, to Orly Airport (on Orlybus or Metro 7+Tram7, but not Orlyval) and everything in between. Ticket Mobilis price is 20.10€ and eliminates the need for the plastic card purchase of a Navigo Decouverte or a Navigo Easy.
If you prefer the plastic card format & tapping (rather than inserting tickets into turnstiles/readers) then Navigo Easy (2€) can hold a Navigo Day Pass (20.10€). This saves you from needing a headshot photo and filling out the paper name card that accompanies the Navigo Decouverte card and is a bit cheaper (2€ vs. 5€). (Navigo Easy cards don't need a photo nor name.)
For Navigo Day Pass you'll need to choose the regular/default zone coverage of 1-5 zones in order to cover CDG (which is in zone 5).
