I rotate between 6-8 pairs, so I suggest getting at least two pairs. As far as what to suggest; running shoes are extremely personal. Everyone is different. I’ve been loving Adidas Adizero EVO SLs, ASICs Superblast 2s, Hoka Skyward X for those middle distance easy runs, Adidas Boston 13s for threshold work, Saucony Endorphin Speeds for threshold, and I also have a stable of race shoes (Nike Vaporflys, Alphaflys) for intervals and racing.

Don't blast them until you try them. I love my big stack shoes. My favorite long runs shoes are the ASICs Megablasts and Hoka Skyward X. I also love Adidas EVO SLs. Race shoes are Nike Vapor Flys, Alpha FLys, and Adidas Pro 4s.
I'm 110kg and I like the superblast 2. I got the skyward x as a max cushion shoe for recovery runs and I tend to grab the sb2 for that purpose.
The paramount max looks interesting. I'm also interested in the Vomero Plus but haven't tried it.
I own the SB and Skyward X. The SB is definitely the fastest and lightest, they were my go to long run workout shoe. Hated them for anything short or recovery. The Skyward is a great long run shoe, I put some serious miles in my pair. But its a tank and feels like it on foot. The Puma is the most versatile of the bunch. It’s big but doesn’t feel like. They’re stable and protective and have a natural feel. They also have the best upper, super comfortable. I’ve used these for big long runs, short runs and recovery. They’re decent for speed but its size shoes up when picking up the pace.
I am around the same weight as you (~93kg) and I found the Prime X 2 a bit too unstable for long runs. I ran a half marathon in it, and found my ankles getting a bit tired towards the end.
I used the Hoka Skyward X as my long run shoe when I trained for a marathon at the beginning of the year, and found it much more manageable on runs over 25km. I have the Vomero Plus but have only been able to run in it once. It feels like it has good potential as a long run shoe, but I haven't had a chance to put that to the test.
Another option is the Brooks Glycerin Max. I've done a bunch of 10 mile runs in them and have found them to be nice and supportive without being firm. A good word to describe them is "supple".

Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.
