Howard,
what I always have on my desk is Appendix A (Component IDs for Elements
in z/OS) from Program Directory of my z/OS.
Take the component id from APAR and look up the id in Appendix A. The
last column shows the RETAIN release, which is the 3 chars id listed in
APARs.

I have an APAR number and I would like to know how to relate
this to a PTF number for my system.
I look up the APAR on IBMLINK and it points to several PTF
numbers. What should I look for in the PTF which would clue
me in to deciding which one to pick for my system.
The RELEASE information in the APAR corresponds to the last 3 characters
of the FMID. E.g., using CICS as an example, and assuming you have TS
2.3 (CICS 6.3, FMID HCI6300) installed:
APAR PQ01234 ...
RELEASE 300: UQ00123
RELEASE 200: UQ00125
RELEASE 100: UQ00124
You'd select UQ00123.
So, check the exact FMID of the component whose APAR you're looking at,
and choose the applicable release via the above scheme.
