Alternatively you could just wade through the options in the pack you have already purchased from Ownhammer to find the ones you prefer. It's a time consuming process but once you find the ones you like you will probably find you will stick with them for most of the tones you dial in, mainly because your ear will become used to that IR.
Once I found an IR I liked I stuck with it for all of my live tones inc Clean and Overdriven tones. The one I use is from this pack:

This is the specific IR I use:
OH 412 RECTO CB-NEO 7B-10
A bit more researching reveals that Ownhammer have created what they call "Player packs". There is a folder in the download called 'player' that contains these. Hopefully this will reduce the depth of the rabbit hole a bit.

I also have the Celestion creamback 4 x 12 IR, which I like, but it is a bit 'clinical' in feel. I MUCH prefer the simplicity of the Celestion approach thouugh.
What I would do is decide whether you want a Classic or Modern (more aggressive) sound. Then pick an IR from the middle of that range. If you decide you don’t like it then use an IR which is a few steps brighter or darker or has more mids (bold), and see whether that’s better.
To my ears the big advantage of Ownhammer IRs is their underlying clarity. Once you start looking at all the permutations it rapidly turns into a rabbit hole.

Wish me luck!
I've got the Recto pack and the new custom Zilla pack.
Can't remember which actual ones I like from memory - but I purposely strip out the rest from my Helix so I'm not in that rabbit hole

OH1 wins. Currently using OH1-5 GNR and it's very nice.
This is definitely the most complicated part of using a modeller. Unfortunately its also pretty critical.
