Question about stem length

I'm really sorry about posting many threads.
But I have no one to ask about track bike in my town.
So my question is
I have two stems(90mm and 110mm)
If i use 110, i feel like I'm reaching too far, and cannot stay long on drop bar.
But if I use 90, it's comfortable, and I don't feel like i'm reaching far.
But i think 90 stem is too short for me, because I can see my front hub is way front of my handle bar.
I know this is wrong way to measure for track bike or other bike
But my local bike shop told me that choose what i'm comfortable with.
So can you guys tell me about right way to choose stem.
I'm planning to do basic bike fit.
Do you think that basic bike is worth it($75)?
I think I am the only one who rides track bike in my town(Delaware)
Also I think local shops do not have experices with track bike fit(they think like road bike fit)

Thank you so much for your help
Also sorry about bad english......
