Plastic and aluminum boats are heavy and slow. They suck. But they are great for someone who is clumsy, careless around rocks, or has kids or halfwit family members that are likely to treat it poorly.
Kevlar shells are great but they need to be babied. The light weight makes them fast and maneuverable but they are delicate.
Fiberglass is a great as they give the benefit of light weight, fast, nimble, and are much more robust than the kevlar boats. I have used many different canoes but the fibreglass are my favourites.
