Linux Mint 17 is fully compatible with Ubuntu 14.04, and often compatible with Debian if there is no Ubuntu package for a program. So in your case, pick the package for Ubuntu and that will work fine on Linux Mint 17.

For installing Google Chrome you have to indeed get it from Google's website, but perhaps good to know you can get most software you want directly through Software Manager in your menu. See my introduction here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=97158
