the higher the duro the easier to slide, 83a otang durian/stimulus or that kind of shaped wheel
DURIANS!!!!!
i assume your doing soft wheel, i have ridden 3 free ride wheels for some time here is what i think of them

Kriptonics classic blues 85mm 80a
Great wheel, really really good wheel they are not the best slide wheel out there, other free ride wheels do slide more but they do have one of the best feeling drifts, its really smooth to drift turns with, check slides are abit harder but for a drifting wheel its amazing.

Freebord Slasher's 80mm 80a
Very similar to Classic Blues, not as fast and the thane is slightly worse it lacks the rebound and for a wheel of its size is really slow to push around on flat ground.

Pink Powerballs 72mm 78a (could be wrong on the duro)
Same shape as the retro free rides and for all round riding a better wheel if you ask me, nice smooth drift and slide, seemless hook up and release when sliding, hands down my favourite freeride wheel i have ever ridden
otang freerides (durians) or mabey even lime big zigs
lime big zigs? mine do stand ups well, idk about all round sliding, id reccomend otang freerides cause there the only freeride wheel i have ridden :)
Looking at O'tang Durian freerides 75mm 83a are they any good?
yes, but i for what you say you want i would say go with the slashers, 80 a set from iboardnz,com, I have had alot of dealings with the guy and he will normally do them cheaper if you longboard

kryptonic classics are really good for standups but not the sort of thing ur looking for if ur into long drawn out slides they instantly jump to a 180. They are also pretty good to learn pendys on.
wheels will only 'jump to a 180' if you make them 'jump to a 180'... you must be over-rotating when trying to draw them out

Im mainly looking for something that will drift around corners and full rotations but also maybe some stand ups
