Which shells should I get?

So fairly recently I got 2 new hermit crabs (both pp) one of them I haven't seen since the 4th (I'm assuming he's molting) but my larger is super active and he's been changing between the 2 shells he has currently a lot... both of the shells have 1 inch openings but one has a round opening and the other a more oval. He's been wearing the oval one more than the round and I really want to order him some more shells... so my question is what opening should I get him? I know PP like round openings but he keeps going back to the oval shape. Any ideas on which I should buy would be super helpful! I just don't want to order a bunch of shells he won't like (shipping is awfully expensive).

Hello! Welcome to the HCA! Here is a link on the shell guide:

Make sure you measure the shell so you get the right size. You would be best to have a caliper.
Here is the one I like:
