I would probably start with an 8x7, then try an 8x6. How much clearance do you have for your prop? The best thing to do is experiment, and electric props are fairly cheap, so clearance permitting buy an 8x6, 8x7, 9x6, 9x7, 10x6, 10x7 and see what works best for you (a good compromise between max power and ESC amp rating)

As Your dealing with static push, I'd try to fit the largest prop possible. But good advise from others is to experiment..
