I recommend the harder shank definitely. You still want to be able to roll through your feet and not only pop and down from relevé.
It sounds too like you may be one of those lucky persons whose feet are lovely yet go through shoes quickly, so as expensive as it is, you may just have to plan [$] for having many pairs around. Most manufacturers will give you a deep discount if you custom order six or more pair at a time.
You too may wish to seek the advise of your pointe shoe fitter, if you haven't done so already.
Best wishes with your pointe work and for happy dancing!
