Help needed (First time buying reps)

I’ve wanted Kobe’s for a little bit not and I’ve played with them and they have felt nice but I simply can’t afford real once’s right now. My friend has s2 reps and he say they play nice but idk I just want opinion from other people since to my this is kinda a big purchase for me and I don’t want to do anything I will regret, for context I put up shots almost every day I play on my high school team and we have 3 practices a week, I thought about buying a pair of star or gk batches but in heard that they have soul separation but I need a shoe that is durable and also going to last me a while I also saw that some wkb perform and last better than the star and gk so my question is what batch I should get if I want performance and long term durability?
