What type of sinker should i use when fishing off a pier?

I’m fishing in Galveston off a pier in the morning should I use a pyramid sinker (I have a 2 and 3 oz.) or one with the round bottom.(1 or 2 oz.) I’m going to have two leaders coming off it with live or frozen shrimp if this matters any.

Or if neither any suggestions would be appreciated.

New to saltwater fishing here.

well i cant help about the sinker matter it depends how rough the water is, i’ve always fished with the lightest sinker possible. and definately live would be better, frozen bait falls off the hook quite quickly
