I would think that any Aluminum boat would do fine on calm lake water.
I can only speak to what I have experienced so there may be other makes as good or better then the ones I'm familiar with. That being said, I've been impressed most with Lund and Harbor Craft, Misty River and Sears seem to stand up well but are lighter and so not quite as durable. Fine boats none the less.
Some of the real light makes are easily dented and some have problems with rivets coming loose, but they too offer some benefits. Light weight for one. Low cost for another.
Personally, I wouldn't rule out fiberglass. It's quieter and often cheaper.
It's not the best choice for river running but it's fine on lakes.
