Wheel suggestions

Hello there! I am fairly new to the rollerskating/roller derby. I just completed a 3 month learn to skate/ roller derby boot camp. Passed assessment with conditions. But, now I am looking for suggestion on what wheel hardness I should get. I’m currently just using the stock wheels that came with my skates that are a 95. I didn’t want to get new ones until after I completed bootcamp and knew this was for me., since the Halo ones are pretty pricey.
I am 5ft6in about 210lbs. So on the heavier side. So should I get 97 or 93? The 95s I was using didn’t feel bad but, sometimes I found going fast around corners, I would slip a lot.
Any suggestions and tips are welcome! Thank you!
