I made a deposit of $17,000 in my account at bank "A", but now I would like to take it out and deposit it into another of my accounts at bank "B". What is the best way to do this?

Assuming that the deposit at Bank A has cleared, you can write a check on your Bank A account payable to yourself, endorse it and deposit it in your account at Bank B. An alternative would be to ask Bank A to issue you a cashier's check for $17,000, which you can then endorse and deposit in your account at Bank B.
A third and more expensive alternative is to have Bank A wire transfer the funds to your designated account at Bank B. The advantage of this method is that the funds would be accessible at Bank B without waiting for a check to clear. The disadvantage is the cost. Each bank would impose a fee for the transaction, which you'd be wise to ask about before selecting this option.
