I personally have trouble throwing the more overstable discs forehand because I can't put as much power into them as I can backhand. As well the wider-rim discs don't suit my forehand grip very well, 2.3cm and above rims the disc has to be understable or relatively close to net zero stability for me like a Katana or Archon.
The PDGA has rim thickness specs on this page, at the bottom where it says PDGA Approved Disc Golf Discs:

As well I find Inbounds' high and low speed stability ratings to be much more accurate than that of the manufacturers, though of course some discs are different through different runs, for example a C-line 2nd run Discmania FD is closer to an FD2 and the current production Discraft Mantis feels like the HSS and LSS ratings are reversed from the 2013 Ace Race version.

For me I like the following, though I'm pretty weak compared to most people. IMO they're ordered from understable to overstable, and I use some for either slot. For distance I prefer 171-173 and for fairway I prefer 168-170.
Distance: Inertia, Mantis(current production), Beast, Viking, Katana, Archon, Volt, Tesla, Saint, Wraith.
Fairway: Leopard, River, Crave, QJLS, Stalker, Viking, Eagle-L, Saint, Teebird, FD(2nd run).
