Looking for some advice on what size rats to order

As expected, rats in my area are ridiculously priced, looking to order some frozen ones online.
I've read good reviews about this place:
Buy Feeder Rats - Newborn, Pinkies, Adult Rats Sale Online

What size would you guys recommend? She took a "medium" Petco rat yesterday with NO problem, and the resulting bulge was fairly small, I'm thinking she could surely take on much larger, as she is fairly thick.
She is SAID to be 5 years old, but that was according to an expo breeder trying to make a sale... Also, to my best guess she's 6-7 feet long. I could try to get a girth measurement for you as well, although I've been trying to leave her alone while she's trying to acclimate to her new home.

I'm aware that Carpet's are capable to taking prey items 1 and a third times as thick as the snakes thickest part, although it's very difficult to judge a frozen online rats thickness.
Thanks for any help!
