I have an adjustable on my folding bike, there is a bit of flex in it. But I will keep using it on that bike because I put a quick release mechanism on it so I can fold the bars down when I fold the bike.
Otherwise I would not recommend an adjustable. That said, if you have an adjustable, you can try out different options and then order a fixed one of the dimensions you decide you want.
I think the fixed one I have in the photo is 35 degrees, I think that is the highest angle they make.
You can get steerer tube extenders, there are a few different ones, this is an example:
