2/5 online or live?
online I would want around 30-40BI's and you can go up or down from there depending on how risk adverse you are. If you are for sure a winner in the games, you could likely go as low as 15bi's , but must be able to go down in stakes if you lose a few bi's

I want to play higher stakes because I think the game play in micro is pretty poor but I'm not sure if I should take £300 and try playing higher or just grind in lower limits until I win a bankroll if that makes sense lol

There is no right or wrong answer to this generally though whatever money I put on a poker site is usually disposable and I play what I like as plenty of roll offline in reserve.
If losing £300 does not worry you as £6000+ in reserve and you have great discipline and self control play a limit that suits you,
If on the other hand £300 is a serious investment that really you need to avoid losing as smaller reserves or struggle with self control sometimes would only risk £5 or £10 maximum buy ins at a time and try to climb the limits gradually.
Good luck personally I get loss anxiety sometimes when playing even 2% of roll and that can affect our game and I try to keep what is at risk much lower.

Why does poor play bother you? I love bad players, because they allow me to win. Also do you have a live poker background or any previous experience? Online games for 500$ are extremely tough, and it will take years of practice and study before you can even hope to just break even. Which lead me on to the next point, which is, that to even have a bankroll you must be a winning player. Otherwise you have a budget, which is something totally different.
With this out of way 20 x the full buyin is very aggressive bankroll management, 30 x is agressive, 50 x is conservative and 100 x is very conservative and mostly for professional players, who want to avoid moving down. In these coronavirus days games are pretty soft, so I think, its ok to skip the very lowest stakes. But I would not start any higher than 25NL. And if you only have 300$, anything above 10NL will be pure gambling.

I meant that at low stakes there are loads of fish who get to the river and hit their 1 time without even knowing how and also at that level don't understand position and equity and maybe I'm over thinking it and that's why I'm not winning as much

It is delusional to think, you can beat good players, if you can not beat the worst players in the game. This is about ego and a lack of patience, and unless you learn to handle these mental issues, you will never have success in poker. Even in high stakes games the money comes from bad recreational players. They are just rich recreational players like for instance chinese businessmen playing in Macao.

Bankroll
For Live play, $2/5 you should have from what i have seen is 20 max buy-ins in your bankroll. It would put you at $10,000.
