90 is used for greater edge hold - i.e. if you want to ride/carve on piste etc, 88 (or even less) tends to be used for those hitting rails etc - reduces chance of catching an edge.

I would say that for you - just riding piste etc, 90 would be fine and would also give you better hold if it gets icy.
