Strip: Choosing a design

Hi All-

My husband said he will build me a boat, but I have to decide which one. I think that I want one for day paddling only, because at this point we can't really take trips until our daughter gets a bit bigger. I'm not sure what design or whether to go strip, S&G, or Hybrid. I can probably help or do a lot of the work on a S&G myself. I'm 5' 3" and weigh 135. What are good designs for someone my size? I'd really like to hear from people my size who paddle them, too.
