I am a slow thinker who always wants to understand opponent's idea and find a strong reply, which I choose from around 4 options. I wanted to learn 10 min rapid but it's so fast that it's almost unplayable for me. I just can't comprehend how people can play chess so quickly.
Should I learn better time managment somehow (but how?) or should I stick to 15|10? (I still get into time trouble in this format sometimes but the increment is very useful.)

Playing more 15|10 games, a lot more mind you, will translate to getting better at faster time controls over time. It's better to play classical for this though. Good luck.

Quickly eliminate obviously bad moves, narrow your choice to 2-3 plausible moves, then compare them more deeply.
You should play the 30 minute games
