Your lead option is supposed to be based on the matchup not on how fast you want to get up Hail or Stealth Rock. Say your opponent leads Kartana against your Ninetales and you get Hail up, if Kartana KOs Ninetales then sends in Pelipper, he gets Rain up which cancels out your hail which destroys your strategy so you have to think matchup-wise and not strategy-wise when leading
Torkoal's Drought conflicts with Ninetales' Hail which pretty much destroys the strategy. Alolan Sandslash does get access to Rapid Spin and is benefited by the hail due to Slush Rush so if you really need a Rapid Spinner then you can consider that
The problems you're having with Steel and Grass types are attributed to the fact that you don't have sufficient coverage options on your team. It doesn't mean you need to drop Tsureena but you certainly need to look into possibly changing other team members like Tapu Lele, Metagross or Manaphy
