Should I stick with my 29" wheels or go for 27.5? What's best?

Whatever you want. No such thing as a best wheel size.

 

Would help if you gave a bit more info though. What type bike do you ride? Where do you ride? What type of riding do you do? What do you want from your bike - fun, speed?

I would stick with a 29'er, you are used to it, 27.5 are not sole purpose ideal for smaller riders, as Emily Batty is an example.
