Off Topic: Paddling to Cumberland Island, GA - Spring Break

I'm taking my wife and 11 yr old son camping at Crooked River State Park in St Mary's GA over Spring Break and we are planning on some paddling. On one of the days, I plan to join up with a local outfitter and paddle out to Cumberland Island. I'll be taking my own kayaks with me and I've got both plastic and wood boats to choose from for this trip. The outfitter recommended plastic due to oyster beds that we might encounter at low tide but I am dying to take one of my wood boats.

Has anybody ever paddled this area who could give me a recommendation on which boats to take... I've got the following:

Plastic;
Dagger Alchemy 14L
WS Tsunanmi 135
WS Tsunami 120
WS Tsunami SP (for the 11 yr old)

Wood;
Spring Run (2 of them)
Cirrus SLT (for the 11 yr old)

Thoughts anyone???
