Either works. Figure skates have toe picks for stopping. Hockey skates are more agile. Try both at a rink.
Recreational: every 15-20 hours of skating. Frequent skaters: monthly. Dull blades slip dangerously.
If you skate more than 5 times per year, buying pays off. Rental skates are often poorly maintained.
