That's like saying "what is the best ski for rails?"
Too many options for specific needs

seriously! i googled "super duper good slidey wheel that will make me good at longboarding" and it was the first thing to come up, so it must be good.

OP, go for something like a metro motion, or abec 11 flashbacks. Metros are super bomb right out of the box, and are center cet, flashbacks are a classic super cheap very good wheel that slide like butter but might not last as long.

Sorry I was pretty vague. I am just looking for a wheel that I can learn how to slide on but be able to rely on not to slide out on me if I go bombing some hills.

The butterballs slide great.

I was about to say that, they're a really hard wheel (possibly a 101a duro) so they make sliding really awesome, they're also great for cruising

you can literally slide any wheel, imo it's not really worth it to get a "sliding" wheel, unless you're doing some kinda competition.
