I would probably just go with 52-54 mm. Here's a video to help find the shape you might want. [this video]

Trends come and go, most pros still ride the classic shape in 52-54mm. Spitfire Formula 4 99d is just the gold standard, very hard to flat spot and long lasting, their new Soft Slider 93d F4 formula is great if you need something softer for rougher ground or for less impact on your body. Bones X Formula is quite good as well and their X97 Formula is a good middle ground thats not too soft or hard. Here is a breakdown of the wheel types and which one is best depending on the style of skating you do: [this video]
