If you plan on fishing toledo bend in the stumps I would go with a aluminum boat thats .125 gauge aluminum. I have seen several xpress boats ride with a lean or porpoise out of control after getting banged up in the stumps. Once you put a nice size dent in aluminum bottom its very hard to get it correct. Sounds stupid but a fiberglass boat is easier to get back in good running shape compared to aluminum after taking a blow from a stump.
