Strength: S & G vs. Fiberglass

I'm new to sea kayaking and have been thinking about building a stitch and glue boat. I recently talked to some people who said that they preferred fiberglass because wood boats are too delicate. the S & G kit manufactures claim that their boats are stronger than glass. Which is true?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Al
