It's the first one, because you're saying that 'Jojo' is one OF the SET that constitutes 'your best friends'.

If you're at a restaurant and all of the dessert options look delicious, you'd point at the tray, and say, 'I'd be happy with any one OF THOSE (i.e., the set of dessert options).' (You wouldn't say 'any one of that'.)
