The only FDA approved rabies vaccine I found on the list in the Compendium
is Trimune, made by Fort Dodge.  It is approved for dogs and cats for 3 year
vaccination.  It's NOT listed as FDA approved for ferrets for one year, so I
doubt it would suddenly have approval for two year immunity.
 
That doesn't mean it (or another rabies vaccine not approved for use in
ferrets) wouldn't in fact provide a ferret with two year immunity against
rabies, but it's not documented to do so and so doesn't have FDA approval.
You were right to stick with Imrab 3.
