Tracker B-2 trucks and original skateboard trucks, help.

I have two sets of trucks available to me.  The first is a pair of tracker B-2 that i have on my board currently.  The second is a pair of original skateboards brand trucks.  Is the B-2 truck much different then the RTS?  Is it worth swapping them for RTS trucks?  I am new to all this but I want to try LDP with the board I have, which is a freeride brand skateboard.  It is a little long with the wheelbase being about 33" but it's what I have.  The original bearings on the B-2's were very hard so I swapped them out for blue doh-doh's both front and back (the softest they have).  Should I put the hard ones back in the back and leave the soft ones in the front?  Should I swap the front or both trucks to the original skateboard trucks?  I currently have the stock thick wedges in the front and back.  I know I need more of an angle but it's what I have for now.  Even though what I have isn't perfect should I flip the rear wedge to dewedge the rear?

I know it's a lot of questions but having no experience with this I am a little overwhelmed on all my options.
