Hi Steve,
 
Your equipment is very outdated! Glad you want to upgrade to newer technology equipment. 
 
It sounds like you are more of a controlled and placement player.  I suggest using the blades: Boll Offensive or Boll Control.  These 2 blades should give you good spin, control and placement while you can still attack. 
 
I also recommend upgrading your Sriver rubber to Rozena
 
Hope this helps and good luck!
 
Coach Banh
