any suggestions?

Very subjective, a lotta personal preference goes into this.

In general:
Wide flat boards are ideal for vert/park where you're airing off ramps & you want the board to stay on your feet.

Slim steeply concave boards are best for street since they tend to be lighter & the concave helps with flip tricks.

That being said, there are various shades of gray. I ride a 7.75" deck, which would be considered a wider board, but it has steep concave since I primarily skate street. Ride some of your friends' boards & see what you like best, make your decisions based on that.

you might want to consider getting a blank board or a shop board to start off with, they are made out of the same stuff, just without the graphics and for a fraction of the price.

I assume Fracture is a company/shop name & not the condition of the board. If so, then yes, get one. If not....don't.
